Labradorite, garnet and smoky quartz ring

Blue Labradorite:

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

Garnet:

The colors are more intense due to the presence of iron; they are dark crimson, purple-violet, brown, and dark red-orange. It is said that Noah used a garnet lamp to safely guide his ark through the darkness of night.

Origin: Madagascar.

Properties: It is regenerative, provides vitality and willpower.

Zodiac sign: Aries.

Smoky Quartz:

This characteristic color occurs when the quartz crystal is exposed to the natural radiation of the elements (aluminum and lithium) present in its composition. In Alpine countries, smoky quartz is considered a protective stone against evil.

Origin: Brazil.

Zodiac Sign: Libra
