SCIENCE 

Labradorite, named after the Peninsula of Labrador in Canada where it was first identified by gemologists in 1770, is part of the plagioclase series of feldspars. It has a chemical composition of varying ratios of two separate feldspar minerals, albite (sodium aluminium silicate) and anorthite (calcium aluminium silicate). The two minerals alternatively layer each other in microscopic flakes throughout the stone, known to gemologists as IamelIar twinning, and are planes of weakness within the crystal’s structure.

This particular structure is responsible for Labradorite’s sheen, a colourful display of tight reflected from beneath the stone’s surface, aptly named Labradorescence. The spectral colours of light, ranging from red through to violet, reflected from the stone are a result of light interference from the thin layers of the feldspar minerals. Due to this gemstone’s remarkable structural quality, the most significant issue which may arise when it comes to the fashioning of the rough into polished pieces for jewellery setting is parting of the gemstone along these twinning/layered planes and may take only a small amount of force.

At Uluna, we are deeply committed to offering crystals that are not only beautiful but also ethically sourced and of the highest quality. Ethical sourcing means ensuring that the crystals we provide are mined under fair conditions, respecting both the environment and the workers involved. We also recognise that many crystals undergo processes like cutting and polishing in  factories far away from their mined locations, so we remain diligent about maintaining our integrity throughout the supply chain sourcing locally and directly where possible.

Our dedication to quality is upheld by our in-house gemmologist, who brings over 15 years of expertise to every piece we offer. Each crystal is carefully tested, correctly identified, and certified as natural, with any treatments fully disclosed.
