## About
Royal blue shot through with white veins of calcite, each tumble has been worn smooth by grit and time until every edge disappears under the thumb. The blue runs from deep midnight to something closer to denim, and no two veining patterns repeat: cut by machine, but built by geology.Sodalite has long been called the thinker's stone, said in folklore to steady a racing mind and clear the fog that settles before a difficult conversation or a decision put off too long. By old custom it was kept on the desks of scholars and speakers, a small blue anchor for anyone who needed their words to arrive in the right order.These stones were cut from rock mined near Bahia, Brazil, where sodalite forms in coarse blue masses alongside nepheline syenite, a far cry from the ornamental blocks once quarried in Ontario and shipped to Europe for tabletops and columns. This is the raw mineral in its plainest, most handleable form, with no two stones matched or paired.DetailsMaterial: sodalite with white calcite veinsOrigin: near Bahia, BrazilForm: tumbled, each stone uniqueHow to useCarry one in a pocket before a meeting, or keep a small dish of them on the desk within easy reach of a worrying thumb.A quiet stone, for quiet, necessary thinking.
