About the Gemstone:
Labradorite is a fascinating mineral renowned for its striking play of color, known as labradorescence. This optical phenomenon occurs due to the diffraction of light within the microscopic lamellar twinning planes inside the stone. While often displaying vibrant blues and greens, some specimens can also show purple, orange, and red hues.
Historically, Labradorite was "discovered" in 1770 by Moravian missionaries on Paul Island near Nain, Labrador, Canada, which is where it gets its name. Deposits have since been found in various other locations around the world, including Finland, Norway, Madagascar, Australia, Mexico, and the United States, but it was first identified and popularized from the region of Labrador.
This pendant is a perfect accessory for anyone who appreciates the beauty of natural gemstones and artisanal craftsmanship. It comes ready to wear and will make a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one.
