Rainbow Labradorite 14K Gold Filled Drop Earrings .
These will add magic to your jewelry collection or bring great pleasure to a friend or loved one.
Labradorite is a member of the Feldspar family and is treasured for its remarkable play of color, known as labradorescence. The stone, usually gray-green, dark gray, black, or grayish-white, is composed of aggregate layers that refract light as iridescent flashes of peacock blue, gold, pale green, or coppery red. The predominant blue varies within the light, displaying hues from deepest blue to various shades of pale, almost blue-green.
This crystal was first discovered in Labrador, Canada, by Moravian missionaries in 1770 who named it for the area. It is, however, referenced in legends by older Inuit tribes, and was known to be in use by the Red Paint People of Maine for over a thousand years. It became a popular gem in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Rarer varieties of Labradorite include Golden Labradorite, a transparent gold or champagne color, and Spectrolite, an intense variety displaying the entire color spectrum, discovered in Finland in the 1940s.
