Labradorite

A Labradorite from Madagascar, hand-carved from a single piece. The color is completely natural; nothing has been dyed or painted, only ground and polished. Depending on the angle of light, the stone displays a blue-golden shimmer.

This optical phenomenon is called labradorescence and is caused by thin, closely spaced lamellar layers in the plagioclase feldspar. Incoming light is diffracted within these lamellae, resulting in the iridescent play of colors.

This is a series product: shape, structure, and weight may vary slightly from the example image. Madagascar provides the highest quality labradorite material worldwide.
