Spectrolite Stone

Spectrolite

Spectrolite is a variety of labradorite which displays intense reds, oranges and yellows and even blues and greens. These different colors are due to the light interference by thin lamellae, in parallel layers, within the spectrolite. The color play in the stone is iridescent as in the feathers of a peacock or the Northern Lights. It appears like a flash of light in the darkness.

Spectrolite, comes from Finland. The name is derived from Labrador which is the main and original source of the Canadian variety of this feldspar stone. Labradorite is also found in India, Madagascar, Newfoundland, and Russia.

The quarrying of spectrolite began after the Second World War and has become a significant local industry. In 1973 the first workshop in Ylämaa became cutting and polishing spectrolite for jewels.

According to believes, spectrolite brings strengths, originality, aids sleep and brings good luck.

It is also said to provide immediate relief from anxiety, hopelessness and depression. It gives enthusiasm, self-confidence and inspiration. People also call it “The good luck stone.”
