Labradorite Rough – Rare Purple Flash Feldspar Crystal for Lapidary Cutting

💎 Labradorite Rough – Rare Purple Flash Feldspar from Madagascar

This is a rare and visually striking piece of Labradorite rough from Madagascar featuring hard-to-find purple flash, one of the most elusive and prized colors in labradorite. The flash emerges under the right lighting and angle, creating a vibrant glow that sets this piece apart from more common golden, blue, or green labradorite varieties.

Labradorite is a member of the feldspar group, famous for its iridescent labradorescence—an optical effect similar to Schiller—that causes the stone to light up in dazzling colors. This phenomenon is the result of lamellar twinning within the crystal structure, which bends and refracts light in unexpected ways. Labradorite is an aluminum tectosilicate formed as a byproduct of high-silica magma.

Photo Disclaimer
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. Most stones are photographed wet to simulate their polished appearance. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please be aware that screen brightness and settings may slightly alter the color you see. If a face has been cut, the final image is usually taken dry to help reveal natural surface characteristics like pits or fractures.

Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.

These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
