  • £10835


An unusual Labradorite gemstone which changes colour from a grey to a vivid blue green according to the light . It is handset in silver with a crescet of silver at the top, a static bale and it comes complete with an 18 inch silver chain . 

A plagioclase feldspar mineral displaying an irridescent optical effect called labradorescence  so as the stone is moved  it responds by changes of hue and colour.This irridescence is due to light being diffused or scattered by the internal crystal structure consisting of microscopic parallel intergrowths of Albite and Orthoclase minerals. Each stone displays different patterns of lines and inclusions inside its matrix providing that individuality.

It is found largely in the Canadian province of Labrador , Canada and in Finland. According to native Canadian Inuit legend, the Northern lights were imprisoned in the rocks of the Labrador coast causing the glints of colour.

A birthstone for Aquarius , Pisces and Cancer. Labradorite is called the Stone of Transformation , providing strength and perseverance in times of change . Also may relieve anxiety and stress.
