Description

This labradorite block originates from Madagascar, one of the world's most renowned locations for the quality and intensity of the optical phenomenon known as labradorescence. The piece has been carefully shaped and hand-polished, highlighting the exceptional range of electric blue and azure reflections that emerge with changes in light angle.
Labradorite is a plagioclase feldspar belonging to the anorthite group. It forms within mafic igneous and metamorphic rocks, and its iridescence is due to light interference caused by microscopic twinning lamellae within the crystal. In this specimen, parallel bands, dark veins, and natural microfractures accentuate the optical effect, creating a visual landscape reminiscent of the aurora borealis.
The block is stable and well-finished on all visible faces, with an irregular geometric shape that makes it ideal as a decorative element, for meditation, or as part of a mineralogical collection. Each side reveals new shades and textures, making the piece dynamic and visually engaging.
In metaphysical traditions, labradorite is considered a stone of transformation and protection, capable of strengthening intuition and the personal energy shield.
