Sodalite is a rare and beautiful stone that has not been a major pigment through the ages, however it is available in powdered form through Kremer Pigments. It appears as a faintly colored blue or very light grey powder. Sodalite comes in many different grades from coarse to fine, and the color appears to vary with the coarseness. The stone can vary widely in color, but is often blue.
