{"product_id":"polished-labradorite-tumbled-stone-natural-crystal","title":"Polished Labradorite Tumbled Stone Natural Crystal","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLabradorite is a feldspar mineral famous for its labradorescence, the flash of blue, green, and gold that seems to move beneath the surface as the stone is turned in light. The base is a smoky grey to olive, and hidden within it are the iridescent flashes that make each piece feel almost alive when it catches the light. These stones are tumbled to a smooth polish that brings out that flash at its best. Because the effect depends on the crystal structure inside each piece, the color and intensity of the flash vary from stone to stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural labradorite with blue-green labradorescence flash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoky grey to olive base color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIridescent flash that shifts as the stone moves in light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTumbled and polished to a smooth glossy finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly 1 to 1.5 inches, about 5 oz per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as one hand-picked stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLabradorite is one of the most captivating stones to hold, since at rest it looks like an ordinary grey pebble, then catches the light and flashes electric blue or green from within. That hidden-then-revealed quality makes it endlessly satisfying to turn in the hand, and a real conversation piece on a desk or shelf. The cool flash pairs well with both modern and natural interiors, and it is a longtime favorite among collectors and anyone drawn to stones with optical effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLabradorite is a plagioclase feldspar, a calcium sodium aluminum silicate. Its signature flash, called labradorescence, comes from light reflecting off microscopic internal layers within the crystal structure. It rates 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it reasonably durable, though feldspar has cleavage and can chip if knocked sharply. Major sources include Madagascar, Canada, and Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite Usage Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean with warm water and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn it slowly under light to find the angle where the flash appears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReasonably durable at 6 to 6.5 Mohs, but store apart from harder stones to avoid scratches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle with some care, since feldspar can chip along cleavage planes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay where light can reach it to show the labradorescence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSize, shape, and color may vary from the photos.
