Labradorite

Labradorite

We often think of labradorite as a modern day mood ring. We love the magical way it picks up peacock blue and glowing yellow in the sunlight.

Labradorite is a member of the Feldspar family and is treasured for its remarkable play of color.  This crystal was first discovered in Labrador, Canada in the late 1700s.

Rarer varieties of Labradorite include Golden Labradorite, a transparent gold or champagne color, and Spectrolite, an intense variety displaying the entire color spectrum found in Finland.

Labradorite is a 6 - 6 ½ on the Mohs scale meaning it is hard enough for jewelry but a bit of care should be taken.
