An unusual Labradorite gemstone which has been left uncut on one side to create a pendant which comes complete with an 18 inch silver chain. 

Labradorite is quite enigmatic so depending on the light it will exhibit flashes of different coloured blues or become a more  subdued grey as the two images show. 

A plagioclase feldspar mineral displaying an irridescent optical effect called labradorescence so as the stone is moved  it responds by changes of hue and colour. This irridescence is due to light being diffused or scattered by the internal crystal structure consisting of microscopic parallel intergrowths of Albite and Orthoclase minerals. Each stone displays different patterns of lines and inclusions inside its matrix, providing that individuality.

According to native Canadian Inuit legend, the Northern lights were imprisoned in the rocks of the Labrador coast . A birthstone for Aquarius , Pisces and Cancer. 

Labradorite is called the Stone of Transformation , providing strength and perseverance in times of change . Also may relieve anxiety and stress.
