Crystal Family
Tectosilicate (Feldspathoid Group)

Sodalite is a sodium aluminum silicate mineral with chlorine, celebrated for its rich blue coloring and strong association with mental clarity and truth. It belongs to the feldspathoid group rather than the quartz family, making it mineralogically distinct. With a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6 it is softer than most crystals in this guide and benefits from mindful handling.

Where It Comes From
Sodalite is found across several continents and has been used in decorative and spiritual contexts for centuries.

- Canada — Particularly Ontario, known for producing high-quality deposits
- Brazil — Produces vibrant deep-blue specimens with strong color saturation
- Namibia — A lesser-known but significant source
- Russia — Found in the Kola Peninsula
- United States — Located in Maine and Arkansas in smaller amounts

Crystal Family Quartz (Silicate Mineral)

Tiger's Eye is a variety of quartz with a fibrous internal structure and iron oxide inclusions that create its signature golden sheen. It is considered a pseudomorph of quartz after crocidolite, meaning it formed by gradually replacing another mineral while retaining the original shape. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7 it is durable and well suited for both wear and display.

Where It Comes From
Tiger's Eye has been used as a protective talisman across cultures for thousands of years and is still sourced from some of the most mineral-rich regions on earth.

- South Africa — The most significant source of high-quality Tiger's Eye globally
- Western Australia — Another major commercial source with strong golden tones
- India — Produces deep brown and golden variants
- Namibia — Known for reddish-toned stones with rich warm color

Crystal Family Metamorphic Rock (Epidote, Pink Feldspar & Quartz)

Unakite is not a single mineral but a metamorphic rock composed of green epidote, pink orthoclase feldspar, and clear quartz. It forms when granite is altered by hydrothermal activity deep within the earth. It has a Mohs hardness of around 6 to 7 and is durable enough for everyday use. Fun fact: the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. famously used Unakite as a decorative building material.

- United States — The Unaka Mountains of North Carolina, its original source
