A white-blue sodalite foidolite of the Precambrian period. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite. For the US- and Chinese market this is correct but in the area of application of the European Standard (EN) this stone must be nominated as syenite.

Note: Azul Bahia is one of the most expensive natural stones, the raw blocks are often small.
Caution: Acids will change the blue colour of the sodalite into grey!
