| Spectrolite
from Finland Spectrolite is a very high grade of dark based labradorite found only in Finland. The name "Spectrolite" is a trade name given to this material by the Finns, and only this material can truly be called Spectrolite. The vast majority of Labradorite that one sees commercially now is from Madagascar. While this material is often very beautiful, it is usually translucent and generally shows a lot of pitting and fractures, although I have found some to be very good quality. The Finnish material is dense, dark black, and much more consistent. It is also much more beautiful. I just received an import directly from Finland of the most extraordinary Spectrolite gem material I have ever seen. I am simply in love with it. It has been very difficult to find material of any quality let alone the "jaw dropping" beauty of this material. Blue, Red, Green, Gold, and PURPLE! How often have you seen Purple Fire in Spectrolite? Don't let these gems slip by. I have included an "mpeg video" so you can see the stone and it's color in motion and get a better idea of what you are getting. The video is well worth the small 1/4 megabyte download - about 70 seconds to download on a 56k modem. |
