Sodalite Star 1.25"
The symbolism of a Star is humanity, divinity, faith, guidance, excellence, motivation, magic, and fame. The Star can also represent God, it is one of the strongest symbols in multiple religions and faiths, and is a sign of divine protection.
Stars are also seen as a symbol of hope, this is why seeing a shooting star is considered to bring good fortune. This has led to the common act of making a wish upon a shooting star. Stars have always been steeped with awe and wonder, you only have to stare up into a clear night’s sky to experience inner peace and feel how insignificant you are in the grand scale of things.
The five-pointed Star is a divine symbol of oneness; the point at the top of the star represents Spirit, the other points represents the four elements; Wind, Water, Air, and Earth. The Star represents the connection of our incarnation and our bond to Mother Earth. The five-pointed Star also represents the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
First discovered by Europeans in 1811 in Greenland, sodalite did not become important until 1891 when vast deposits were discovered in Ontario, Canada. Usually opaque, some crystals are transparent to translucent. Sodalite is known for its royal blue colour, but it may also be grey, yellow, green, or pink and is usually mottled with white veins or patches. Often confused with Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite very rarely contains Pyrite and this is a good way to discern one from the other by sight. Its name comes from the Latin term sodalitas that means comrade.
