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, which creates a fascinating play of iridescent colors (a spectrum of blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple) and refractions on its surface, as if hiding a rainbow. This optical phenomenon, which gives it the nickname "rainbow stone," is due to light refracted by the stone's internal layers, creating a play of iridescent colors depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
Discovered in Canada's Labrador Peninsula, it is used in jewelry, design elements, and crystal therapy for its balancing and protective properties.
Interesting lot: Madagascar labradorite.
