Labradorite pendant

This 58 x 32 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver. The centerpiece of this striking pendant is a 39 x 12 mm navette-cut labradorite, displaying intense green and blue hues and a high luster. The stone is set in a silver box, adorned with decorative trim and flowers that enhance its beauty.

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.
