Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the labradorescence in Labradorite so special?

Labradorescence is an optical phenomenon caused by the overlapping of thin lattice layers within the crystal. When light hits these layers, it is refracted and reflected – creating the typical, intense color reflections in blue, green, gold, or violet that make Labradorite so unmistakable. Each piece shows an individual color pattern that depends on the viewing angle and incidence of light.

Who is a Labradorite freeform a suitable gift for?

A Labradorite freeform is an extraordinary gift for people who appreciate natural stones, home accessories with meaning, or spiritual companions. With its impressive appearance and considerable weight of 1355 g, it is especially suitable as a high-quality one-of-a-kind piece for collectors, wellness enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to make a decorative statement in their home.

How does a freeform differ from other Labradorite shapes?

A freeform – also called a free form – does not follow a geometrically defined shape like a sphere or an obelisk. Instead, the stone is cut and polished according to its natural shape, creating an organic, flowing silhouette that preserves the original structure of the mineral. This makes every freeform an absolute one-of-a-kind piece. Those who prefer other shapes will also find Labradorite spheres in various sizes in our collection.
