Genuine Blue White Sodalite Matinee Necklace, Gemstone & Leaf Branch Pendant A royal blue mineral valued as an ornamental carving stone, sodalite somewhat resembles lapis lazuli but lacks the latter's pyrite flecks and darker coloring. Mesoamerican civilizations of the Pre-Columbian era are known to have traded for this stone at some of their ancient market sites, implying that they held it in some regard. It became an important ornamental stone until 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were discovered in Ontario, Canada. 12 mm x 5 mm blue white sdalite rectangular beads, 32 x 17 mm stainless leaf branch connector The length of the necklace is about 20", stainless lobster claw clasp + extension chain. ***Feel free to contact me to personalize the length, you can measure one of your own necklaces to have an idea of the length you like.
