Purple labradorite heart 19g 30mm

One of the most colorful in this series, this 30mm heart palmstone produces a vivid multi-zone labradorescence display that moves through bright magenta-pink in the upper right, warm orange-amber in the lower third, and a flash of blue at the centre. The three colour zones shift and blend as the viewing angle changes, creating an unusually complex display for a piece of this size. Fine natural cleavage planes cross the surface, and scattered dark mineral inclusions are visible, entirely typical of this material. The dark body color provides strong contrast to the vivid iridescence.

This is the kind of multi-color labradorescence more commonly associated with higher-grade Malagasy material, where the full visible spectrum can appear within a single piece. The phenomenon is entirely natural, arising from light interference within lamellar feldspar layers, and no treatment is involved. A strong choice for collectors interested in colour-range labradorite or as a display piece where the shifting hues can be observed under changing light.
