Labradorite sculpture, with Labradorite as the main mineral, in sculptural form, from Madagascar.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Labradorite is a striking mineral variety of the feldspar group and is known for its unique and vibrant play of colors, caused by the interaction of light with the layers within the stone. The most common colors are gray, blue, green, and gold, often with a metallic luster that enhances the visual effect. This phenomenon is known as labradorescence and makes labradorite a popular choice for collectors and jewelers.

The origin of labradorite is mainly traceable to Canada, particularly Paul Island in Labrador, where it was first discovered in the late 18th century. Besides Canada, there are also significant deposits in other parts of the world, such as Madagascar, Finland, and the United States. These minerals are often presented in raw or polished forms in jewelry, ranging from rings and earrings to pendants and bracelets.

When collecting labradorite, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the stone, with factors such as color intensity, clarity, and the degree of labradorescence determining its value. High-quality labradorite has a rich color and an impressive shine, making it a desirable addition to any mineral collection.
