Blue Labradorite Lion Carving Pendant in 950 Silver

Exclusivity & Design: Handcrafted in high-purity 950 silver at the Rocas & Cristales workshop in Córdoba, Argentina, this 50 x 39 mm pendant features a 9 mm round blue labradorite onto which the face of a lion has been carved in relief, with precise details that reveal remarkable technical mastery.

Aesthetic Details: The relief carving of the lion's face on the natural stone demands meticulous work that respects the plane of labradorescence, so that blue and greenish flashes accompany the carved features and lend movement to the figure. The result is a sculptural piece in miniature, as symbolic as it is singular within the Rocas & Cristales collection.

Warranty & Shipping: Every Rocas & Cristales piece is handmade in Córdoba, Argentina, with an artisanal quality guarantee. We offer free worldwide shipping and, for customers in Argentina, the option to pay in 6 interest-free installments (Argentina only).

Natural Stone Properties: Labradorite was first discovered in 1770 on the Labrador Peninsula, Canada, though the natural stone used in this piece comes from Madagascar. Its characteristic optical phenomenon, labradorescence, is produced by the diffraction of light across the lattice planes of its internal structure, between the albite and anorthite layers. Linked to the third eye chakra, it is regarded as highly protective, favoring the intuition and mental clarity of the wearer. In the astrological tradition, this natural stone is associated with the sign of Pisces.
