What is labradorite?

Labradorite is a feldspar mineral known for its spectacular play of colors in blue, green, gold, and violet – a phenomenon called labradorescence. Each stone is unique – no two patterns are identical.

Where does the name come from?

First discovered in 1770 on the Labrador Peninsula in Canada. The most intense quality comes from Finland and is called "Spectrolite" there – with the strongest, most colorful play of light.

Labradorite in jewelry

• Always set as a cabochon – the play of colors requires the curved surface
• Especially beautiful in silver – cool metal, cool play of colors
• Symbolism: Stone of transformation and protection

Recognizing quality

• The more colors visible (blue, green, gold, orange), the more valuable
• A dark background makes the play of colors appear more intense
