Raw labradorite gemstone exhibiting a striking blue adularescence, commonly known as the Schiller effect. The gem is set within a coarse, speckled gray matrix, creating a contrasting visual display. The blue luminescence is highlighted in a cracked, mosaic-like pattern, presenting an intricate and natural appearance. This optical phenomenon is due to light diffraction within the stone's internal structure, a characteristic feature of labradorite, which belongs to the plagioclase feldspar group. The surrounding matrix provides a rugged texture and a natural, earthy look. |
