Finnish Labradorite or Spectrolite is renowned for its mystical shiller or Labradorescent as its known. This unique piece in all shades from a yellow/green to electric Blue

Fine platelets of varying composition as well as minute inclusions of limenite, rutile and possible magnetite are the causes of the light diffraction.

Eskimos or Inuit people believe that the Northern Lights were once trapped in the rocks. A wandering Eskimo warrior came upon these rocks and tried to set the Northern Lights free with blows from his spear. He was able to free most of the lights, but some still remained to be permanently trapped within the stone.

Also Available with Amethyst

Its colour is as unique as it is seductive, an extravagance in violet! The most striking and flamboyant jewel in the quartz family. Not only beautiful, Amethyst has also enchanted both the esoteric world and the scientific world for generations. The stone is known to have a sobering and cleansing effects while in Korea it has long been used as a healing stone, a tranquilizer and a detoxicant. Scientifically this stone poses a riddle that until today has not been completely solved. Amethyst has its hardness at 7 on the mohs scale, its moderate refraction and its weight is in common with the other quartzes of the family, but the crystal structure is completely different, and it is most unconventional. The construction is stratified, as a result of which areas and lamellae of varying colour intensity often come about. This explains why there are relatively few large cut amethysts of an evenly distributed dark colour.
