LABRADORITE

Discovered in the desolate Sybaritic Peninsula of Labrador, Canada, in the beginning of the 19th century. Labradorite best specimens found currently come from Finland and Madagascar.

Labradorite, is an iridescence feldspar that once faceted displays a spectrum of shimmering colors called Shiller. Its most popular use is in the creation of jewelry and ornaments.


It is reputed to be a Traveling stone and is also ascribed the ability to heal infections, energize and help in the achievement of mental and physical balance.

The beauty of Labradorite is not as apparent as other gemstones and for best appreciation, should be viewed tilted towards shining lights.

Then, the usually dark mineral glows in a range of colors from violet blue and green to orange and yellow and in rare cases some specimens display all colors simultaneously.

Labradorite resembles in its structure and feel, another recently popular gem - the Rainbow Moonstone, also feldspar family member that contains a translucent cleavage Shiller.
