Golden Labradorite Pendant

Pendant measuring 50 x 28 mm, crafted in high-purity 950 silver. The star stone of this pendant is a faceted, teardrop-cut labradorite measuring 25 x 18 mm, with a golden hue. The stone is set horizontally with prongs, framed by silver trim that draws the eye to the chain loop.

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.
