Large Irregular Faceted Labradorite Bead Strand

Large Irregular Faceted Labradorite Bead Strand

Geological Wonder and Lore

This striking strand features generously sized, freeform beads of genuine Labradorite, a remarkable feldspar mineral celebrated for its optical phenomenon known as labradorescence. Each irregularly faceted bead is polished to reveal a captivating play of iridescent blue, green, and gold flashes when it catches the light. According to Inuit lore, the Northern Lights were once trapped within the rocks along the coast of Labrador, and a warrior freed them with a strike of his spear, leaving some of the light captured within the stone forever. This mystical origin story enhances the allure of these beads, making them a premier choice for crafting unique, high-impact jewelry pieces. Our Labradorite collection showcases the versatility of this magical stone.
