Purple labradorite heart 23g 31mm

A cool-toned heart palmstone with purple-violet labradorescence sweeping across the upper two thirds of the face, joined by a distinct stripe of blue-teal running along the right side. The purple dominates the display with a soft, even saturation rather than concentrated hotspots, giving the piece a composed, quieter character compared to more multicolored examples. A faint trace of golden tone appears at the far edge under some angles. Dark mineral inclusions are present throughout the charcoal-grey body, and the surface is well polished.

Purple and violet labradorescence is strongly associated with Malagasy material, where the right combination of feldspar layer thickness and intergrowth produces cool, blue-shifted schiller rather than the greener-gold tones typical of other sources. The phenomenon is entirely natural and untreated. At 31mm this is a comfortable palmstone size for display or handling.
