Item Details
Description
LABRADORITE FREEFORM
Tulear Province, Madagascar
7” X 6” X 2.25”
Good Condition
Authenticated by noted natural history authority David Herskowitz
Labradorite is a feldspar mineral; a form of crystallized magma. Its characteristic green-grey appearance does not seem especially remarkable, until a specimen is worked to a high polish, such as the example here, and light hits the surface in such a way as to bring to life the incredible shimmering labradorescence that makes it such a popular mineral. Caused by twinning on a microscopic level, parts of the rock seem to burst into life with electric blue, green, and gold flashes. A sizable example, measuring 7 x 6 inches.
