Natural Sodalite Obelisk - Height: 360 mm - Width: 110 mm- 2446 g

A rare beauty obelisk, entirely carved and polished from a block of natural sodalite, the mineral that with its deep blue hue and white and gray veins has fascinated collectors and gemstone enthusiasts since its discovery in the 19th century. This obelisk, with its slender shape and pyramidal apex, recalls the symbolic architectures of antiquity and naturally fits within a cabinet de curiosités, where nature and art blend into a timeless object of fascination. Sodalite belongs to the feldspathoid group and crystallizes in the cubic system, distinguished by its shades ranging from deep blue to blue-gray, often animated by white calcite intrusions or orange veins caused by oxides. Beyond its aesthetic value, it is appreciated in mineralogy as a typical mineral of alkaline igneous rocks and pegmatites. On a symbolic and collector's level, sodalite is considered a stone of the mind and knowledge, associated with the pursuit of truth and inner clarity. In this context, an obelisk like this is not merely a decorative element but becomes a bridge between the geological power of the Earth and human ingenuity shaping matter. Its polished surfaces highlight the chromatic contrasts, making this obelisk a highly impactful decorative piece: solemn, elegant, and capable of conveying the allure of gemstones.
