Green Labradorite Pendant

This 45 x 44 mm pendant is crafted in high-purity 950 silver. The star of this striking pendant is a 31 x 44 mm green labradorite. When viewed from the correct angle, its surface radiates metallic reflections in shades of green and blue. These reflections are due to an optical effect called labradorescence, which gives it a mysterious and captivating shimmer. The polished cabochon cut enhances the stone's colors and optical effects.

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.
