Labradorite XXL: Brightness in the Quiet
Blue, turquoise and yellow-gold patches brighten the grey and dark grey bodies of the pictured Labradorite XXL examples. Their rounded oval shapes and smooth-looking, reflective surfaces give the colours room to stand out, while fine intersecting dark lines trace some of the coloured faces.
Labradorite’s coloured flashes are known as labradorescence: microscopic layers of feldspar interact with light to produce them. That small detail offers another way to appreciate the stone—a meeting of structure and light behind the colour that first catches your eye.
Imagine teal and blue-green ribbons hanging above distant dark mountains, their colours reflected softly in a northern lake.
