Small crystals of dodecahedral form, with tetra- 
hedral faces. The crystals are always found on 
red spheroidal tourmaline and are very rare. 
Fine large crystals in micaceous schist. 
Occurs as small masses of crystalline structure 
and fine blue colour in miascite. One single 
ciystal of this mineral, now in the collection of 
the Mining Institute at St. Petersburgh, pre- 
sents a dodecahedral form. The blue sodalite 
of the Ural was formerly termed Cancrinite.
