This 1.5-inch sodalite angel is delicately hand-carved and polished by Brazilian artisans from genuine sodalite, known for its rich navy-blue tone streaked with natural white and gray veins. Each figurine features smooth lines, gently defined wings, and a satin polish that enhances both depth of color and tactile comfort.
The smaller 1.5-inch size offers an intimate form ideal for personal altars, travel companions, or subtle decorative accents — a piece that balances simplicity and craftsmanship.
Sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral belonging to the feldspathoid group. It forms in silica-poor igneous rocks such as nepheline syenite and phonolite, developing its deep indigo color from traces of sodium and chlorine within the crystal lattice. White veining occurs when sodalite intergrows with calcite during cooling, producing the distinctive blue-and-white pattern.
Brazil is one of the primary global sources of gem-grade sodalite, providing stable material for fine lapidary carving and ornamental sculpture.

Sodalite was first described in Greenland in 1811 and later became widely used as an ornamental stone after large deposits were discovered in Brazil and Canada. Its distinctive ultramarine hue and calming appearance made it a favorite among 20th-century artisans for carvings and decorative pieces.
In symbolic art, sodalite is often associated with clear perception and truthful expression — qualities reflected in its deep, contemplative coloration. The angel motif carved from this stone amplifies that essence, pairing clarity with protective awareness.
The angel represents protection, insight, and peaceful guidance, while sodalite embodies clarity, focus, and intellectual harmony. Together, they create a balanced symbol of thoughtful strength:
The blue tones signify truth and awareness.
The white veining reflects openness and connection.
The angelic shape embodies watchfulness and serenity.
Collectors appreciate sodalite angels for their timeless combination of earth-toned beauty and quiet reflection — ideal for mindful spaces or symbolic gifts.
Each carving displays a unique blend of deep blue and contrasting white veins. The polish reveals subtle translucence in lighter areas, adding depth and visual texture. Compact and luminous, the 1.5-inch size enhances the intimate appeal of the stone’s natural pattern while remaining portable and easy to display.
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or extreme heat. Store separately to prevent scratches from harder stones like quartz or jasper.
