Sodalite in Australia
« on: August 16, 2018, 09:51:42 PM »
Just wish to pick members brains, can anybody tell me if Sodalite is found in this country and where would the deposits be found.   Why I am asking this question is that a friend of mine has just come back from Emerald in Queensland and she has sent photo's to me of what looks like Sodalite, would this be possible.


Cheers Tinker beers

Tinker I had the same result. Just did another search on Google for Sodalite. Try this: https://www.mindat.org/locentry-428782.html

Thanks Malachi,  I thought there may have been some on the main land, have had a friend that bought a couple of bags of samples whilst they were u p in Emerald, found some nice sapphire in the dirt and what looks like Sodalite, but it could just be a fractured Sapphire. beers
