Sodalite Blue is a rare and prestigious natural stone primarily quarried in the high-altitude Andean Plateau of Bolivia and the mineral-rich regions of Brazil and Namibia. Although commercially classified as a granite due to its exceptional hardness and density, it is geologically a feldspathoid. This exotic stone features an intense cobalt to royal blue background, dramatically interlaced with icy white calcite veins and occasional black intrusions. Valued as a "gem among stones," its limited production and striking "sky-like" patterns make it a premier choice for luxury interiors, including book-matched feature walls and high-end countertops. Interestingly, while it resembles lapis lazuli, Sodalite Blue is distinguished by its white streak and the absence of pyrite. Under ultraviolet light, certain specimens reveal a hidden characteristic, fluorescing a vibrant orange.
Sodalite Blue — 2 cm blue granite, polished, about 93″ × 54″ per slab. Lot GR70400 is currently on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 93″ × 54″, about 35 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is blue. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot GR70400 at our Los Angeles yard shows 5 slabs in stock, 5 slabs on hold, and none currently available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The yard can confirm whether a held slab can be released.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are kitchen countertops, vanities, and floors. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Transitional Kitchen.
The material
Granite is an igneous rock quarried around the world. It is built mostly from quartz, feldspar, and mica, and it is one of the harder stones used on counters. It stands up to heat, scratches, and everyday moisture better than most marble. A uniform color stays close from slab to slab, while a veined granite should still be matched inside the lot before it is cut. A honed face looks matte, a polish looks reflective, and a leather or brushed face feels lightly textured. Ask the fabricator whether this finish should be sealed.
