Labradorite Pendant Selection!
Lizzie 04 Mar 2020 2858 This stone is commonly used to create rings and labradorite pendant jewelry. Although it is a softer stone than others the gemstone is still quite durable and not brittle. The hardness of the stone is 6 – 6.5 on the Mohs scale. It is softer than quartz but is still a durable material.
One of the special qualities of labradorite is its amazing play of color known as labradorescence. The labradorite stone is known for being a member of the Feldspar family and usually comes in a black, greyish white color, gray-green color, and dark grey. These colors are composed in aggregated layers which refract light as iridescent flashes of gold, coppery red, peacock blue, and pale green.
Interestingly, the labradorite was first discovered by Moravian missionaries in 1770 while they were in Labrador, Canada. The gemstone then became very popular in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The stone can now commonly be found in Madagascar, Australia, and Finland. Rare varieties of labradorite include a champagne color, transparent gold, golden labradorite, and spectrolite.
The most valuable type is the one that shows the full spectrum of color in its labradorescence. However, labradorites don’t exhibit labradorescence but they can still make a beautiful stone. There are three types available including rainbow moonstone, andesine-labradorite, and spectrolite.
Rainbow moonstones are an intense blue schiller and come from Madagascar. Andesine-labradorite is created by enhancing the color of the labradorite and spectrolite are rare labradorite from Finland. The stone is known for displaying a spectral play of color called “spectrolite”.
What’s great about these gemstones are that they are extremely versatile when it comes including them in pieces of jewelry. The stone can be cut into fancy shapes and placed in a setting with gold, silver or rose gold.
