labradorite
Semi-precious stone · Madagascar
The labradorite panel joins angular gray pieces with iridescent blue flashes, set by hand with resin on a base. It is an indoor slab that asks to be seen up close: accent wall, bar front or table.
It is also known as Labradorite.

What a labradorite slab looks like
A mosaic of angular gray pieces covers the slab in the photo, with iridescent blue flashes spread over the surface. The background is dark gray with some greenish gray; the contrast is medium. The variation within the slab is moderate. The surface comes polished, with high gloss. Every panel is put together differently: yours is chosen from photos before you order.

Covering a large wall takes several panels joined together: it is best to see them together, because each one is put together differently.
Labradorite finishes
Polished, as in the photo. This labradorite is not translucent, so backlighting is not one of its finishes.

Polished
Even gloss across the whole mosaic: it is the finish the slab comes with.

Questions about labradorite
What is Labradorite?
Labradorite is another spelling of labradorita: both names point to the same semi-precious stone. The slab does not change either: pieces of natural labradorite set by hand with resin on a base, a mosaic with no vein running across the slab. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
How is labradorite different from blue agate?
The pattern. In its photo, blue agate gathers slices with concentric rings and white centers; in yours, labradorite shows angular dark gray pieces with iridescent blue flashes spread across. Both slabs are built the same way, with natural pieces and resin.
Can you put a light behind labradorite?
No. The slab in the photo is not translucent, so backlighting is not for it. That setup is for stones like agate or quartz, when the slab lets light through.
How do you clean a labradorite slab?
For daily care, water and a soft cloth are enough. No solvents or abrasive products on the gray pieces or the resin. Where the slab lives near hot pots or cups, use trivets: resin does not take direct heat.
How does labradorite reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
