Spectrolite, a special variety of labradorite, is a feldspar that fascinates with its particular play of colors. The beauty of this rock lies in its iridescence phenomenon, called labradorescence. This optical phenomenon is due to the diffraction of light on microscopic lamellae of plagioclase present in the crystalline structure of the stone.
Spectrolite is distinguished from other varieties of labradorite by the intensity and complexity of its labradorescence. The formation of these stones is linked to complex geological processes involving the slow cooling of igneous rocks.
The rough stones are cut and polished to reveal all the beauty of their reflections. Spectrolites are highly valued in gemology for their unique aesthetic appearance. They are used for the manufacture of jewelry, cabochons and decorative objects. If you are a lover of minerals or simply looking for a stone with shimmering colors, Spectrolite will seduce you.
