| 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 22 - one super slab, 6 pictures INCREDIBLE PURPLE PURPLE PURPLE!!! This slab has the most purple of any piece I've yet seen. It has split fire that will face independently as shown in the last 4 pics or if positioned correctly will flash both sides simultaneously as in the first 2 pics. The 3rd pic shows the back. The color goes almost all the way through - you can see the angle of the crystal in pic 4. AN EXTREMELY EXCELLENT PIECE. I have sold 2 of these slabs and have only 1 more I'm keeping for myself. The first sold within 24 hours of listing at a "buy it now" price of $125.00. The second sold within 24 hour at a "buy it now" price of $150.00. This one the biggest and nicest of the 3, so $150.00 will be the price. You are not likely to see more like this soon if ever. GOOD LUCK! 70 x 49 x 8 mm - 38.2 grams $150.00 + SHIPPING SOLD |
