Purple labradorite heart 25g 33mm

This 33mm heart palmstone displays a cool-centred, warm-edged labradorescence pattern: a bright zone of lavender-blue and lilac purple occupies the central area of the face, while orange-gold tones frame the periphery and emerge at the lower corners. The contrast between the cool inner zone and the warm outer ring creates a layered, almost iridescent halo effect. Several fine natural cleavage planes cross the surface diagonally, and scattered dark mineral material is present in the grey body.

The interplay between cool lavender and warm amber seen here reflects the natural variation in feldspar layer thickness across a single piece, with different structural layers producing different interference colours. The display is entirely natural; no treatment has been applied. At 25g and 33mm this is among the larger examples in the heart series, with a proportionate visual presence.
