Lovely Labradorite

Polished labradorite gemstones
Labradorite is one of my all-time favorite gemstones. Its iridescent colors and the way this gemstone glows different shades depending on how the light hits, makes labradorite seem almost magical.

Labradorite is named after its origin of the peninsula of Labrador, Newfoundland, though it can also be found in Australia, Madagascar, Mexico, Russia and the U.S. Labradorite is said to impart spiritual strength upon it's wearer, and many believe it can provide a barrier against negative influences and reduce anxiety. While at first glimpse this stone is a grey-ish shade, in the light this gemstone reveals a shimmer of color - often blues and greens - known as "labradorescence" and which has been compared to the beautiful aurora borealis, or Northern Lights. Here are a few Keltie Leanne pieces that incorporate this gorgeous gem: 

Labradorite Bracelet
Dino Bracelet - $90

Labradorite Fringe Necklace
Luce Necklace - $160

Labradorite and Gold Chain Earrings
Glowworm Earrings - $85

Do you have a favorite gemstone that you'd love to see incorporated into future designs?
