The feldspar mineral labradorite is distinguished by its labradorescence, an enthralling color display that seems to change and shimmer on the surface of the stone.

Labradorite beads have been used by gemstone-makers for thousands of years. Through the ages, people have appreciated these beautiful stones for their ability to ignite creativity. Today, that rich history gives each creation a greater meaning, linking you to the past.

The Science Behind Labradorescence

When light bounces off different crystal layers in labradorite beads, it creates a color display called labradorescence. The thin layers that compose these water bodies scatter the light to result in bright blue, green, gold tints, and sometimes orange or red too. The optical effect is beautifully displayed in facet cut labradorite beads as they reflect light over many surfaces. Understanding this phenomenon makes it all the more interesting to work with Labradorite beads because no two pieces are the same.
