Labrodorite Cabochons
These Labradorite cabochons are cut to showcase the incredible optical phenomenon known as labradorescence - that electric flash of blue, teal, gold, and sometimes even violet that seems to glow from within the stone.
At first glance, Labradorite can appear soft gray to charcoal… but tilt it in the light and it comes alive. Sheets of color ripple across the surface like northern lights suspended in stone. Each cabochon is completely unique, with its own pattern, depth, and intensity of flash.
Carefully shaped and polished to maximize brilliance, these stones are ideal for statement jewelry and designs that highlight movement and light.

Why Designers Love Labradorite
• Stunning blue and multicolor flash
• Neutral base color that pairs with any metal
• Strong enough for everyday jewelry with proper care
• Perfect for pendants, rings, cuffs, and wire wrapping
Labradorite pairs beautifully with sterling silver for a cool-toned look, or warm brass and gold to enhance golden flashes. Minimal bezel settings allow the light to hit the surface and really show off that fire.
Each cabochon is cut from hand-selected material and polished to bring forward the strongest possible flash. Because labradorite’s beauty depends on lighting angle, we recommend viewing it under different light sources to fully appreciate its depth and glow.
There is truly no better artist than Mother Nature — and Labradorite is one of her most dramatic masterpieces.
