  • Dumortierite 6x4mm rice shape on 16-inch strands
  • Nice color and unusual smooth flowing, delicate shape
  • These could almost substitute for much more expensive lapis
  • Dark blue Dumortierite was named after the French palentologist Dumortier and is found mostly in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, France, Poland and North America.
  • Generally darker than Sodalite, which can look a lot like well-worn denim, Dumortierite is usually a more solid navy blue color, although it too can have some lighter blue, or white, inclusions.
  • Try pairing it with lighter blues such as blue lace agate, or adjacent turquoise
  • Robert Simmons says it enhances all mental abilities: linguistic, mathematical, and abstract, as well as "emotional intelligence" and supporting discipline and willpower, making it an ideal stone for students of all ages.
