Blue Labradorite Pendant

This 51 x 30 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver, featuring a 30 x 18 mm polished, triangular-cut cabochon of blue labradorite set in a silver box with a bezel clasp. The stone is positioned horizontally and connected to the chain loop by silver filigree, enhancing the piece's elegance.

It was first discovered in 1770 on the Labrador Peninsula, Canada. Ranging from translucent to opaque, it can occur in whitish, dark gray, or grayish-black colors with bright metallic reflections of blue or green. These reflections are due to an optical effect called labradorescence, which is produced by the diffraction of light as it strikes the lattice planes of the stone's structure: the albite and anorthite layers, the polysynthetic twinning, and the inclusions.

Origin: Madagascar.

Properties: Highly protective.

Zodiac sign: Pisces
