Beautiful Labradorite Sphere from Madagascar

A labradorite sphere from Madagascar with full labradorescence. Depending on the incidence of light, the stone lights up in blue, green, gold and partially violet and shows the full color palette of the material.

Labradorite is a calcium-sodium plagioclase feldspar. The labradorescence is caused by light refraction at microscopically thin lamellae in the crystal structure and not by embedded pigments.

The sphere displays different plays of color from every perspective. The iridescence moves with the rotation, which makes labradorite one of the most dynamic minerals for sphere formats.
