2½" Labradorite gemstone pendant, with rare purple flash, set in antiqued copper.

Labradorite is a type of feldspar, named after Canada's Labrador peninsula, where it was first found in 1770. It can also be found in other parts of the world. Despite its gray appearance in its natural state, polished Labradorite has a metallic shine and a shimmer reminiscent of the hypnotic Aurora Borealis. When viewed at the perfect angle, it reveals stunning flashes of blue, green, gold, or purple. This gemstone is known for providing protection and shielding one's aura from negativity.
