{"product_id":"labradorite-freeform-madagascar-1","title":"Labradorite Free Form | Madagascar","description":"\u003cp\u003eLabradorite freeform from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar, a polished plagioclase feldspar standing 5.3 inches tall with shifting blue and gold labradorescence across its faces. Labradorite measures 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale and forms in igneous anorthosite bodies rich in plagioclase. One-of-a-kind specimen, cut with a flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flash is structural rather than pigment. Light entering the stone reflects between thin lamellae of two different feldspar compositions that separated as the original magma cooled slowly, and the interference produces blue, green, gold, and occasionally pink depending on the angle of view. The effect was first described from Labrador, Canada, though Madagascar now supplies most of the fine material. Because the color is optical, it cannot be imitated by dyeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 938 grams it stands unaided on a desk, shelf, or bedside table, and rewards being turned in the hand or repositioned as light moves through a room. Labradorite carries long-standing associations with intuition, protection, and transformation, and is often kept nearby during transitions or dream work. Suits collectors of Madagascan feldspar and buyers looking for strong natural flash in a standing piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44196710547492,"sku":"IND-LAB-FRE-0001","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/labradorite-freeform-madagascar-01_d30ce958-f503-47bb-bc34-af1cb089fd6c.png?v=1779337384","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/labradorite-freeform-madagascar-1","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
