RECOMMENDED FOR

When asked for a crystal to have in the office, Sodalite is the first crystal that we would most recommend.  It pretty much does everything a workplace needs; clears electromagnetic pollution from computers, sheds thinking that holds people back, encourages harmony and people working together, enhances communication, strengthens logic and intuition and increases efficiency.  This is a great one to sit on desks, meeting tables or gridding in your office.
