Spectacular AAA Grade Labradorite Stone
Labradorite really doesn't get much better than this. AAA grade large and chunky labradorite stone with incredible iridescence as soon as it reflects the tiniest amount of light.
Highly iridescent on both sides, it's beautifully polished and slightly translucent. The bottom edge is a little rough in places and there's a two centimetre chip that can mainly be seen when the stone is upside down. The chip can just about be seen in our third photo.
When we found this labradorite at our supplier in India it was about to be cut down. We fell in love with it and weren't put off by the imperfection so bought it exactly as it was.
Labradorite is a variety of the mineral feldspar. The iridescence also known as labradorescence is caused as light reflects off crystals beneath the surface of the stone. The colours that can often be seen are the reflection of light.
We've taken several different photos of this piece of labradorite. Our studio lights were used in all except the second photo. The incredible iridescence that can be seen in that shot was coming from a nearby window.
Pure magnificence in a natural stone.
Take a look at our instagram page to see this polished labradorite as it's moved around.
