Sodalite knife block | Diamond Cut

Details

Attention: Due to quality and limited production, sodalite is very infrequent.

Sodalite is a rock that belongs to the class of silicates and germanates and is not very common. The few deposits are found in Brazil, Afghanistan or Australia. The sodalite we use comes from a quarry in Brazil whose high-grade blue quality is unmatched and is no longer regularly mined in this luminosity. Sodalite is a semi-precious stone; it is dark blue, with some white veins, purple, pink or yellow also appear on the surface. Sodalite is often used for functional and decorative custom-made items in the luxury sector, but only TYCOON STONE SCHMIDKE handcrafts a knife block from the most luxurious stone in the world.
