Frequently asked questions

What is labradorescence, and why does blue labradorite glow so intensely?

Labradorescence is an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction of light on fine layered structures within the mineral. Certain wavelengths of light are reflected, creating the characteristic color play – in blue labradorite, intense blue and turquoise tones dominate, varying depending on the viewing angle. This phenomenon makes every stone visually unique.

Where does this blue labradorite come from, and why is Madagascar so special?

This freeform comes from Madagascar, an island in the Indian Ocean considered one of the mineralogically richest regions in the world. Malagasy labradorite is especially distinguished by its pronounced and deeply radiant labradorescence, which is not found with this intensity in many other source regions – a quality trait appreciated by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
