Talk:Sodalite

It says it's "royal blue" but royal blue is actually a magenta-blue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.241.137.116 (talk) 19:40, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

On Sodalite, the current picture is a very bad specimen. Effort should be put into finding a more accurate picture. -Nivm —Preceding undated comment added 02:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC).

Seem to have a problem - Opera browser places text following the Hippo picture to the right of the image, which causes an overlap with the table, when the image is to the left. Netscape starts text below the image. Don't know if this is an Opera bug or nonstandard Wiki html. Or it may be a problem with my system? Will check on other systems tomorrow. -Vsmith 23:54, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * All I know is that in Internet Explorer it looks remarkably silly. There are huge gaps in the text. Surely there is a way around this. Both ways look fine in Mozilla. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 00:24, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Will play with it tomorrow where I have access to both IE & Opera (dumped IE from my home system). Maybe we should just put in a disclaimer: view with Mozilla :-). There's gotta be a solution. -Vsmith 01:50, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Played a bit in the computer lab today with both Opera & IE. There is a definite problem with the way both browsers interpret Wiki code. Not sure how to get around it - don't know enough about wiki tables to fix it. This will cause problems any time a picture is placed to the left alongside the taxobox table for Opera or when changed to right to force it after the taxobox it causes gaps in text with IE. Mozilla & Netscape work fine either way. Guess I need tech help on this. -Vsmith 01:03, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * What version of Opera are you using? I might have to download it onto this computer so that I can see what's happening. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 03:15, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * 7.23 I guess I should check to see if there is an updated version. -Vsmith 03:47, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * OK - just now upgraded to version 7.54 and the problem is still there. -Vsmith 04:00, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is Sodalite a feldspathoid, a zeolite or both? I fits the definition of a zeolite (micropourous aluminosilicate with a contuous 4-connected network of tetrahedera), but I dont know the "propper" definition of a felspathoid (like a feldspar but without the crankshaft structure?). I guess as it is quite dense (for a zeolite) it could be both. Andreww 09:16, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Feldspathoid. Zeolites contain H2O - sodalite is anhydrous. There are similarities in structure, both silica deficient, sodalite's open cages contain the large Cl- ion. Need to add some web references to the sodalite page and work on the stub of a feldspathoid page also. -Vsmith 13:02, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Stereo image using same image for cross-eyed and parallel
The stereo image infobox shows two seemingly separate images for stereo vision, one for parallel vision and one for cross-eyed, which should have the left and right frames swapped. However as far as I can tell both images are in fact the same file, "Sodalitest.jpg". Am I missing something here? Also, which one is Sodalitest.jpg for, parallel or cross-eyed? 185.163.103.83 (talk) 17:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Can I lick this rock?
Can I lick it? Will I die? How long of a lick can I make of it? Daeighve (talk) 08:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't know about that, but university of Turku is fabricating two radiation detectors from hackmanite that will go in space in some future ESA-mission: https://yle.fi/a/74-20066295?origin=rss 91.155.239.235 (talk) 10:48, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
