{"product_id":"labradorite-freeform-crystal-flashy-shimmering-gemstone","title":"Labradorite Freeform Crystal: Flashy Shimmering Gemstone","description":"\u003cp\u003eLabradorite's defining characteristic is labradorescence, an optical phenomenon that has no equivalent in the mineral world. The stone itself is a dark, unremarkable gray when light hits it straight on. But tilt it, and something extraordinary happens: the internal structure of the stone diffracts light across thin layers of alternating feldspar, producing flashes of electric blue, teal, gold, green, and occasionally violet that seem to come from deep within the stone rather than from its surface. This \u003cstrong\u003eLabradorite Freeform\u003c\/strong\u003e weighs 454g and measures 4.00\" tall by 3.00\" wide by 1.50\" deep, a substantial piece with a natural, uncut silhouette that lets the stone's inner fire speak for itself. Exact pick, one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This piece is discounted because the primary blue flash is best viewed from the top rather than straight on. From the top, it is exceptionally flashy. The discount reflects the viewing angle, not the quality of the labradorescence itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrystal Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Labradorite Freeform, polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 454g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.00\"H x 3.00\"W x 1.50\"D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlash:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong blue labradorescence, best viewed from top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChakras:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/third-eye-chakra-crystals\"\u003eThird Eye Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/throat-chakra-crystals\"\u003eThroat Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 6.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madagascar (primary source of high-flash Labradorite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExact pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e What you see is what you receive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMetaphysical Properties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection \u0026amp; Aura Shielding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Labradorite is one of the premier protective stones in the crystal world.
