Description

Faceted rondelle natural Labradorite stones, beads 5 x 3 mm

Sold by strands, no minimum order required.

Stunning high-quality natural Labradorite stones in faceted rondelle shape, sourced from the Labrador region in Canada.

The phenomenon known as labradorescence, from which Labradorite gets its name, is an optical effect of iridescence that appears as a vivid color shift when the stone is moved.

This effect is caused by light interference due to the presence of layered structures within the mineral.

Labradorite has a base color that is typically gray, with reflections that range in hues from golden yellow to violet, sky blue, and deep blue.

Depending on how the stone is moved, different colors will be perceived, from lighter or darker shades of gray to vibrant blue tones. This unique characteristic is inherent to the stone itself and should not be considered a flaw.

Curiosities and Properties of Labradorite

The first Labradorite deposits were discovered in the Labrador province of Canada around 1770. Other deposits have been found in Madagascar and the Scandinavian Peninsula; interestingly, Labradorite has also been found in some meteorites.

An ancient Eskimo legend tells that the aurora borealis was trapped inside a rock along the coast of Labrador.
One day, an Eskimo warrior wandering the area struck the rocky masses with his spear, freeing most of the lights trapped in the rock, while those that remained formed Labradorite.

According to popular belief, the Labradorite stone is highly “mystical.” It is said to enhance innate intuitive abilities and improve psychic skills.

Labradorite is believed to balance intuition and intellect, allowing illusions to fade and true personal intentions to emerge.
It is a crystal that can expand the limits of conscious thought, promoting a healthy reassessment of one’s hidden abilities and talents.
