AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Labradorite is a semiprecious mineral, a member of the feldspar family, characterized by an optical phenomenon called labradorescence that creates a fascinating play of iridescent colors (spectrum of blue, green, yellow, orange, violet) and reflections on its surface, as if it hid a rainbow. This optical phenomenon, which gives it the nickname "rainbow stone", is due to light being refracted by the stone's internal layers, creating shifting color displays depending on the angle from which it is observed.
Discovered on the Canadian Labrador Peninsula, it is used for jewelry, design elements, and in crystal therapy for its balancing and protective properties.
Interesting lot: Madagascar Labradorite.
