Introduction
Each bead in this 5.5 mm labradorite bracelet reveals soft glimmers of blue, silver, and gold—nature’s own light show frozen in stone. The smooth rondelle cut enhances light play while offering a sophisticated silhouette that balances elegance and energy.
Larger than micro-bead formats, this piece carries more body and flash, perfect for wearers seeking a statement of subtle brilliance and grounding.
Geological Overview
Composition: Labradorite is a calcium-sodium feldspar (plagioclase) with formula (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)4O8. Crystal System: Triclinic. Its famed labradorescence is an optical interference effect caused by lamellar twinning within the crystal structure.
Formation & Environment: Occurs in igneous rocks such as gabbro, basalt, and anorthosite. Formed by slow cooling deep underground, these environments enable the growth of crystals with fine structural layering—essential for producing its rainbow iridescence.
Aesthetic Appeal
Each polished rondelle glows with silvery translucence and flashes of spectral color—most notably blue and aqua with subtle green and gold tones. The thicker bead shape enhances reflection, while gentle inclusions lend authenticity and texture. The bracelet’s understated palette makes it a perfect layering piece with sterling or dark-toned metals.
Metaphysical Properties
Known as the “Stone of Transformation,” labradorite is said to awaken intuition, strengthen faith in oneself, and reveal hidden potential. Its shimmering surface symbolizes light emerging from darkness, aligning with the Third Eye and Crown chakras.
Rarity & Collectibility
Fine labradorite with pronounced flash remains highly collectible, particularly when free of heavy matrix. Rondelle-cut bracelets of this size are uncommon, appealing to collectors who appreciate tactile form and optical beauty.
Why You’ll Love It
Balanced, luminous, and versatile—the 5.5 mm rondelle cut adds dimension to the wrist while maintaining the ethereal glow labradorite is celebrated for. It’s a piece that feels both grounding and alive with energy.
