Strands are sold as temporarily strung and can vary in length +/- 0.5". 💎 Key Features Optical Phenomenon:The signature "flash" of labradorite isn't surface color. It occurs when light enters the stone and reflects off microscopic internal layers of impurities, scattering and diffracting into a brilliant play of color. Composition: It is a plagioclase feldspar consisting of 50-70% calcium and 30-50% sodium. Hardness: It ranks between 6 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a durable stone for jewelry (like pendants or earrings) but still susceptible to scratches from harder materials. Symbolism & Meaning: Labradorite is a gemstone known for its magical or mystic qualities — often called a “fire stone” by the Inuit. It’s believed to awaken intuition, strengthen the aura, and protect against negative energies. Show more
