Description

Labradorite Gemstone with Silver Pendants

Artechaski’s skilled craftsman meticulously created these beautiful labradorite gemstone with silver pendants. Each pendant features a one-of-a-kind design that showcases a labradorite gemstone set in silver.

Silver

To begin with, the pendant’s expansive silver provides a bezel setting that fully encompasses the edges and back of the stone.  Also, combinations of beads and narrow bands of silver provide a decorative frame unique to each design.  A separate silver tie loops through the top of each pendant to accommodate a cord, chain or other means of attachment.

Labradorite

[columns] [span8]
Labradorite is a semi-precious gemstone within the category of plagioclase feldspar minerals.  As such, it contains various combinations of sodium, calcium, aluminum, and silicon.
Notably, labradorite shows an intense schiller – a bronze-like luster with iridescence.  Commonly, the term labradorescence describes the stone’s iridescent quality.   The stones themselves may be lightly colored or colorless.  In contrast, numerous bright colors can appear as the stone is turned to different angles from the light.  Blues and oranges are common, but other rainbow colors may also shine from these gemstones.

Interestingly, the origins of labradorite include the following:

  • Moravian missionaries discovered labradorite in Labrador, Canada in 1770 (thus, the name labradorite)
  • From Eskimo folklore, the stone had entrapped beautiful emissions of light that an Inuit warrior set free to create the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
  • Nicknames for the stone include the “Frozen Fire of the Aurora Borealis” and “the Stone of Magic”

Further, the stones have a glass-like appearance and may be either semi-transparent or opaque.  The stone’s organic color – often a dark gray, black, or brown – can provide a vivid contrast with the blues, greens, or other colors that shine in iridescence from the stone.
Adding to the uniqueness of each stone, are visible inclusions that, as light reflects to the impurities, contribute to the play of colors.   Facets may further contribute to the sparkle although smooth stones in round, oval, or cabochons are most common.
Finally, Madagascar is the most abundant current source of labradorite.  Finland, Canada, and the USA are other locations with significant deposits.  India and Oregon have rarer and less abundant transparent stone deposits.
