Who doesn’t love labradorite? Astonishing colors appear magically within the stone and vanish, each turn revealing a new hue. Technically speaking, it’s called adularescence, or the “Schiller effect”: as white light enters the thin mineral layers of the rock, it disperses into a spectrum and is reflected back. The Inuit people of Canada, where the stone was first identified, tell it differently: they say the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) were trapped within the stone.
This beautiful pear-shaped stone displays an intense deep blue with flashes of iridescent green. The pendant, which measures 1 3⁄4 in long by ¾ in wide, is suspended from a bail in the shape of the Greek letter omega and comes on a 16-in long rope chain. Both chain and pendant are constructed of sterling silver.
Entirely hand-fabricated from recycled sterling silver in my Central Pennsylvania studio.
Your necklace will arrive beautifully packaged in a gift box tied with a ribbon.
