Labrodorite Earrings

The Classy Kit labradorite earrings are made using a very unique gemstone. This stone has an amazing luminousness.

This type of light reflection even has its own scientific name – labradorescence.

Labradorescence is not merely a reflection of surface colors on a mineral specimen.

Rather, the phenomenon occurs when light penetrates the stone, encounters a twinning surface inside, and bounces off it.

The color perceived by the observer is the color of the light reflected from that specific twinning surface. Since different twinning surfaces inside the stone reflect distinct colors of light, labradorite can display a range of colors.

In other words, light reflecting from varied twinning surfaces in diverse parts of the stone can produce a striking, multi-hued effect.

And we simply love this amazing effect that creates an absolutely  unique color pattern when you look at the jewelry made from these gemstones.
