PRODUCT INFORMATION


General Description

Sodalite, classically shaped form as they originate from Namibia, not Madagascar. Mined in Namibia and meticulously polished in a Malagasy-owned workshop in South Africa, these gallets exhibit rich colours and intricate patterns. The spectrum of hues ranges from a lighter navy blue to a deep blue-black, offering a captivating visual experience. Unlike typical Sodalite deposits associated with white vein-like patterns, the Kunene River material presents a unique mix of white, orange, and occasionally grey specular or primarily vein-like patterns, adding to its allure. Each piece is polished exclusively for Toprock in South Africa from highly selected quality material, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and quality. This product line showcases the natural beauty and geological diversity of Sodalite, making it a remarkable addition to any collection or display.

Thulite (sometimes called rosaline) is a massive pink Manganese-bearing variety of the mineral Zoisite. Manganese substitutes for calcium in the structure with up to two percent Mn²⁺. Thulite is often mottled with white Calcite and occurs as veins and fracture fillings transecting many types of rock. This richly coloured material has been mined in Mozambique and subsequently polished in South Africa by a world class Malagasy lapidary workshop. These have exceptional shape and a lovely polished finish. The material is exceptionally rare and some of the first we have seen in decades. Limited supply.
