Sodalite Egg

Enjoy these Sodalite Eggs are a beautiful mid blue with white combination. Interesting they are so soft that I wonder if the balls had to be hand polished – they have that bumpiness that usually signifies this. Use the photo in my hand as the more accurate guide to colour.

Black inclusive material is possibly magnetite. This variety has become really expensive recently and I suspect this mine is running out. They sit lovely on a medium stand.You can consider a sodalite ball too.

This crystal is great to banish bad habits and negative thinking patterns especially breaking co-dependency on others. It encourages rational thought, objectivity and intuition, as well as verbalisation of feelings. Read more on Healing tab.

This is our last sodalite egg so enjoy the video here to help you decide.

Shamarah's Insights

I worked with sodalite in a big way as I broke through co-depence issues within my family. Co-dependance is where you do not think you are good enough unless someone else tells you are. You doubt your own wisdom and go with what others tell you to think and say. It goes hand in hand with not feeling comfortable to speak your emotional truth to others. As it calms, releases core fears/phobias/guilt/control mechanisms then inner wisdom, self-esteem & self-acceptance come forward to break co-dependence patterns. It also aids going into “Wise woman” life stage - empty nest, loss of fertility. Sodalite is hugely important to help you speak you emotional truth, something that often is abandoned in the family dynamics of co-dependence. Past  Buddhist teacher said this pattern was a big problem for Western people (he really meant those of European descent). Until you honestly allow yourself to feel, to acknowledge your feelings and then speak them to others as may need to happen e.g. "what I am hearing is making me angry so I am going off for an hour to cool down", then you are cutting yourself off from your intuition and honest, loving connections with people.
