100% natural orange sodalite beads!

Orange Sodalite is a unique variety of sodalite that displays a warm blend of deep blue tones highlighted with striking orange or rust-colored inclusions, often caused by feldspar or iron-rich minerals. This combination creates a dramatic contrast that makes each bead visually distinct. Durable yet workable, sodalite has long been valued in jewelry-making for its bold coloration and smooth polish.

Recommendations

For beads 4mm and smaller, it is recommended to start with stringing wires no larger than .013inch / .33mm. This will ensure a proper fit and in most cases allow for feeding of the wire tip back through the beads for a clean finish.

Elastic cords can be used with beads 4mm and larger, but it will not fit through most beads smaller than 4mm. It's recommended to use 0.5mm elastic cord.

These recommendations are intended to help guide you for a successful project. With time and experience you'll discover what works best for your designs.
