Blue Labradorite Pendant

This 33 x 23 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver and features a polished, circular-cut cabochon of blue labradorite, 23 mm in diameter. This incredible stone is distinguished by its intense blue color when light strikes it. The design is simple, with a prong setting that allows the beauty of the stone to shine through.

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.
