AA Grade Labradorite Bead Strand (8mm)

AA Grade Labradorite Bead Strand (8mm)

Stone of Magic and Northern Lights

This beautiful AA grade strand features uniform 8mm beads of Labradorite, a feldspar mineral celebrated for its ethereal optical effect known as labradorescence. As light enters the stone, it strikes internal twinning surfaces and reflects from them, creating a spectacular flash of iridescent blue, green, and gold. According to Inuit legends, the Aurora Borealis was once trapped within the stones of Labrador, and a warrior’s spear strike released the lights into the sky, leaving some of their beauty captured within the mineral forever. This strand from our Labradorite collection provides the perfect material for crafting jewelry that tells a story of magic and myth.
