Item Description

A cool polished egg-shaped specimen of beautiful iridescent Labradorite from one of the most productive localities in the world for this particular material. This piece shows the classic "labradorescence" that makes this material so popular with collectors. The shimmer / sheen in the piece combined with the cool blue and green hues makes for a very eye-catching example of this Feldspar variety. Not a lot of Feldspars in the world are colorful, let alone translucent and colorful, and this material should be appreciate for what it is, and not frowned upon because of its abundance.
