Description
Among feldspars, labradorite is frequently encountered as a faceted gem, second only to orthoclase. It ranges from colorless to yellow, with inclusions like hematite and copper creating a variety of body colors, notably from Oregon. Our stones come from Africa and are crafted by our Indian jewelers.
Labradorite is renowned for its schiller effect, showing blue, green, and golden hues, making it popular among hobbyists. This stone is also used in dark igneous rocks for building materials due to its attractive blue sheen.
The schiller in labradorite, similar to peristerite, displays colors including blue, green, gold, yellow, and purple, resembling a peacock’s feathers. Faceted labradorite is an unusual but stunning jewelry stone, as durable as moonstone and other feldspars, and is also used in crystal therapies.
