Historical & Geological Background

Labradorite was first identified in 1770 on Paul Island near Nain in Labrador, Canada, which is where the mineral gets its name. It is a feldspar mineral known for its optical effect called labradorescence, caused by light diffraction within its layered crystal structure.

Madagascar has become one of the most significant modern sources of high-quality labradorite, particularly valued for its strong and vibrant colour flashes. The deposits are primarily located in the central and southern regions of the island, where large specimens suitable for carving and display are commonly found. Labradorite from Madagascar is widely used in both the mineral trade and decorative stone industry due to its size, quality, and visual appeal.
