Pendant – Round – Labradorite

Labradorite is a very colourful feldspar variant and was first discovered in 1770 on the Labrador peninsula in Canada. That is of course the origin of the name. The stone gets is colour due to very thin plates inside the stone that refract the incoming light in very specific colours. This effect is also present in Moonstone, but also in the colour of the eye, the blue in the sky and on the blue on butterflies’ wings. Because of this, the colour varies a lot depending on the angle at which the stone is viewed and the incidence of the light present. The colour is blue green or yellow, most of the time. A purple colour is very rare, as well as continuous play of colour from all angles.
