A STONE LIKE NO OTHER
Labradorescence is an optical phenomenon caused by light reflecting between layers within the stone’s unique crystal structure.
The result is a natural iridescence that appears to move and change with every shift in light and perspective.
Naturally Rare. Authentically Labrador.
A soft, silvery-grey field with natural variations in grey, taupe and off-white, punctuated by flashes of blue and blue-violet. The color appears and disappears as light and viewing angle change, giving each slab a constantly shifting character.
BLUE-EYES
A deeper, darker stone distinguished by its remarkable spectrum of iridescent color. Labradorite crystals can flash blue, green, yellow, gold, orange, red and violet, revealing different colors as light and viewing angle change.

PAUL ISLAND, LABRADOR
Our labradorite originates from the rugged coast of Labrador, Canada - the very place where Labradorite was first discovered and named.
Quarried on remote Paul Island, the northern climate allows for just a three-to-four-month quarry season each year.
From there, the stone travels by sea to Italy to be cut and polished before returning across the Atlantic to Newfoundland.
The striking similarity of labradorescence to the northern lights had long inspired a host of Inuit legendsA LEDGEND OF LIGHT
A labrador Inuit legend tells of the Northern Lights once held within the rock. A great hunter struck the stone with his harpoon, releasing the lights into the night sky, while some of their brilliant colors remained within the Labradorite.
