Labradorite Necklace
Labradorite Necklace
Natural Brazilian labradorite in its original form, set in gold-plated silver. In everyday light, the stone is gray and matte; simply tilt it toward the light and a metallic blue emerges from within - labradorescence, an effect of the mineral's layered structure. For this reason, the pendant looks different by a window, under a lamp, and in the shade. 45 cm chain (42 + 3 cm adjustment), also available in 63 and 83 cm.

About the stone
Labradorite is a feldspar from the plagioclase series that forms in mafic igneous rocks. It takes its name from the Labrador Peninsula in Canada, where it was first discovered and described. A characteristic feature of this mineral is labradorescence, the interference of light on thin layers inside the crystal. This makes the gray, opaque stone flash with metallic shades of blue and green. Learn more in the article Labradorite - the stone of the aurora borealis on our blog.
Care
Gold-plated silver and labradorite should be cleaned only with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding contact with water and detergents. Store in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
