Thanks! I just remembered why I had such trouble with this photo: This particular batch of sodalite I bought off a guy in Brazil is actually chatoyant (Chatoyant - adj. - showing a band of bright reflected light caused by aligned inclusions in the stone). Neat stuff if you are making a pendant or a necklace--I purchased this material labeled as 'fish tank gravel' so I was not expecting quality material...and I'm sure the seller would have adjusted the price if they had known...Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I don't think you'll hear us complaining...It's quite nice.
I took a photo (shown below) last year as an example...the silver coloration is not visible unless hit with bright light, or a camera flash.
