Sodalite is a rare mineral often used as a gemstone. It is a beautiful, royal blue, a bit like lapis lazuli but a little less intense, darker and without the gold flecks.
The photos have made it look a little brighter than it is in real life.
This brooch is a simple, tactile cabochon with what looks like a handmade closure at the back.
34 mm x 15 mm.
In good vintage condition: the pin is a little bent and the closure might need a little bit of adjusting to be more secure.
