This specimen features some of the richest purplish pink color Hackmanite crystals I’ve seen from this locality, and though they are a bit crude, they are rather lustrous in places, and very good size for the species. To top it off, the specimen is associated with some very pale yellow Winchite crystals, which is not seen in many specimens from this locality. A very colorful and attractive overall specimen of this material which has not appeared on the market for a few years now in any significance.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",393,432,{"id":674,"source_url":675,"license_code":446,"credit_html":676,"title":677,"description":678,"author":503,"original_width":679,"original_height":680},28106,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10154160","Robert M.

Sodalite is named for the sodium locked inside it[1] — a feldspathoid, meaning a silicate that forms where there is too little silica to make feldspar. Its colour is a deep, even royal blue, and that blue is the reason anyone remembers it.\n\nLong before any chemist studied the stone, it was already moving along trade routes. The people of the Caral culture, on the coast of what is now Peru, traded for sodalite carried down from the Collao altiplano, the high Andean Plateau[2].\n\nThe mineral entered European science in 1811, described from rock collected in the Ilímaussaq complex near Narsaq, in West Greenland[3]. That Greenland outcrop remains its type locality — the place the first studied specimens came from.\n\nFor most of the 19th century the Greenland find stayed a scientific curiosity. Sodalite did not matter as an ornamental stone until 1891, when miners struck vast deposits of fine material in Ontario, Canada[4]. Those Canadian sources — chiefly around Bancroft — turned a laboratory mineral into a carving and jewellery stone.\n\nOne variety carries a stranger reputation. Hackmanite is sodalite that shows tenebrescence: its colour changes with light, then changes back[5]. Stone freshly cut from Mont-Saint-Hilaire in Quebec or from Ilímaussaq in Greenland comes out pale to deep violet, but fades quickly to a greyish or greenish white. Hackmanite from Afghanistan and Myanmar does the reverse — creamy white at first, it turns violet to pink-red in sunlight, and pales again in the dark[6].","claude-opus-4-8","1.7.0",{"markdown":916,"model_version":913,"prompt_version":914,"reviewed_at":11},"Sodalite earns its keep as a decorative stone, not as an ore. Its even royal blue is the whole appeal, and almost every use is lapidary — the cutting and polishing of stone for ornament.\n\nThe most uniformly blue material goes into jewellery, cut into cabochons — smooth, domed, unfaceted stones — and into beads[1]. Less even material is put to humbler work, used as facing or inlay: thin slabs set into a surface for colour rather than carved in the round[2].\n\nA buyer should not confuse it with lapis lazuli, the famous blue rock it resembles. Sodalite rarely carries the flecks of pyrite that speckle lapis, and its blue reads as a traditional royal blue rather than the deeper ultramarine of lapis[3].\n\nOne variety draws collectors for a reason beyond colour. Hackmanite is sodalite that changes hue under light and reverts in the dark — a reversible colour shift called tenebrescence[4]. That trick makes it a prized curiosity for mineral collectors and a recurring subject in research on photochromic minerals, rather than an industrial material."]
