6 mm round cabochon forsetting or gluing
This flat-bottomed gemstone is made of Sodalite.
Did you know?
Its name comes from "sodium" for soda and the Greek "lithos" meaning "stone" for lite, giving us sodium stone.
It can be either translucent or opaque, and its dominant color is blue, which is why it is confused with lapis lazuli.
For the Greeks, it was the stone of the prophets, and for the Chinese and Japanese, it represented the restoration of social order.
But here we'll be focusing more on its aesthetic appeal than on its virtues and history.
