Blue Labradorite and Moonstone Pendant with Black Tourmaline

This 62 x 48 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver. The centerpiece of this striking pendant is a 47 x 22 mm blue labradorite, beautifully complemented by a 20 x 17 mm moonstone with black tourmaline. When viewed from the correct angle, the surface of both stones reflects bluish hues. Both stones are polished cabochons and prong-set. Silver filigree accents further enhance the piece's beauty.

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

Moonstone:

Its color and luster are due to the reflection of light on albite and orthoclase. It was very popular during the Roman Empire, when it was believed that its interior was composed of moonbeams. Moonstone is sacred to the moon and is therefore considered the stone of intuition, feeling, the heart, and fertility.

Origin: India.

Properties: Adds depth to feelings, increases insight, stimulates lucid dreams.

Sign: Cancer, Gemini, Aquarius
