Labradorite Pebble

Labradorite Pebbles are always hard to photograph it as it is multi layered and each layer has its own flash, which means from one angle it may seem one colour, yet another angle its another colour and pattern altogether. You have a surprise every time you look at it as something else flashes its own colour or pattern at you.

Labradorite of good quality like this has become increasingly hard to find. Fingers crossed its just a “bad seam” and they will find more great stuff on the other side as we bought very little last business trip – one supplier has quality but also at a higher price. The quality of these is very good but they were a bit pricey hence the discount.

This crystal helps you with reflections and truths in your life. Are they still valid for you at this stage in your life? It sharpens intuition and helps develop medium-ship abilities, which works well with its ability to bring forgotten memories to light. Read more on the Healing Tab.

And in addition, a labradorite is very cool crystal to have just for its look with all that colour. The mystery of Nature impresses once again.

Watch this video of a different labradorite pebble to show why it’s hard to photograph. Why? Because the colours show at all different layers and angles.

Special Notes

• One version of moonstone is actually white labradorite.
• Spectrolite is considered "A" grade Labradorite and comes from Finland where the blacker feldspar displats the rainbow of colours better than that from Madagascar.
• Named from where it was found originally - Labrador, Canada but found in other locations.
• It's unusual properties coined the termed "labradorescence".
• Its use is in jewellery and decorative objects.
• Yellow Labradorite looks like Citrine with no labradorescence.
  • Mineralogically it is called Bytownite although some say they are different however I cannot find any reference to golden labradorite in mineralogy databases.
• If Ca is zero it is albite or bytownite. If it is no Na it is anorthite.
  • Labradorite also usually has both in its makeup.
