#Sodalite is one of over 400 mineral type found in a quarry at Mont Saint-Hilaire, east of #Montreal, where an alkali-rich mafic magma intruded carbonates.
The Mineralogical Association of Canada has published a beautiful book on this locality (2nd ed. out later this year):

#Sodalite is a dark blue or sometimes white or yellow mineral belonging to the alumosilicates. It is sometimes used as a gemstone, but not as a pigment, because its streak color is white.

as much as #sodalite is fun and pretty... listen, it's not chaos. Stibnite is basically chaos in most of its historical uses, iirc!
Also it often co-occurs with things like #realgar, #cinnabar, #orpiment, and #galena... now that's some fun chaos company. Vote Stibnite for chaos!! #MinCup23

Reorganising after my latest jewellery binge! Lots of preloved necklaces & bracelets now deconstructed and waiting to be recreated into something for someone to love 💝 I'm thinking a different kind of bracelet, and maybe some pendulums... 🤔

Gorgeous specimen! 😍
#Wulfenite was a contestant (not the word I want, but it works) in this year's @MineralCup!
Sadly, it didn't make it past round 1 as it was defeated by #Sodalite.

ROUND 1 MATCH 3
Bold and bright is the theme for toys #MinCup2022 match! It's vivid orange #Wulfenite vs the iconic blue #Sodalite.
Both are gorgeous and have unique features, but one must triumph as the other falls.
