Labradorite
Rough
We are
now engaged with a foreign supplier of this magnificent material
that is coming from Madagascar and is it ever nice material. We
are hand picking it for color so as when you have color on one
side that the color is also on the other or color completely through
the rock. This material from Madagascar is vastly being called
for rather than the material from Finland for its color variation
and intensity. Colors of the blue, green and gold can sometimes
be found with the colors of red and even lavender when slabbing
this material.
We all know that this material is somewhat fractured and also
has healed fractures as it is from the feldspar family in rock.
Meaning that the small crystals were crushed because of the earth's
movement that in its lava cradle caused the fractured affect that
causes the movement of the color when rotated. Cabs are very colorful
when danced in the sunlight and can be used with gold or silver
for its mounting. This is exceptionally vivid colored material
which when observed the effects are stunning.
Its hard not to imagine this material not giving you the best
of its beauty and make for some awesome lapidary jewelry.
