A Historical Note About Sodalite: Discovered in 1806 in Greenland, Sodalite became more popular as an ornamental stone in 1891, when large deposits were found in Ontario, Canada. It was on a visit to Ontario when Princess Patricia of England chose Sodalite as the interior decoration for Marlborough House—and 130 tons of this beautiful stone were quarried and shipped to England.
