| 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. |

Spectrolite Rough 11 - one large chunk, 5 pictures 41 x 35 x 34 mm - 98.7 grams I'm not sure how far the fire goes through this chunk, you can see fire on both sides, so I think it goes through most of the way. It has been difficult to decide to sell this and to come up with a price. Considering that I recently sold a very small piece from this stone for $120.00 - PLUS the size and quality of this piece, I feel this price is reasonable. You are not likely to see ANYTHING of this size or quality, OR COLOR any time soon if ever. |
