When light strikes this oval labradorite cabochon, an iridescent shimmer of spectral colors — commonly blue and green — dances across the surface in a phenomenon known as labradorescence. This optical effect is caused by light reflecting off the gem's microscopic internal layers, producing a depth and movement that makes each stone visually unique. Named after its place of discovery in Labrador, Canada, labradorite belongs to the diverse feldspar mineral family and is prized by jewelers and metalsmiths for its dramatic play of color. Oval cabochon cuts are the preferred shape for showcasing labradorescence to its fullest effect.
These calibrated oval cabochons are available in a range of sizes, making them well-suited for setting in rings, pendants, earrings, and brooches. Note that larger stones may exhibit more natural inclusions. Clean with warm, soapy water only — avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
