This .925 Sterling Silver necklace features a 10x5mm, marquise Labradorite and 2mm round blue-green fancy Sapphire gemstone. The Sapphire is from Africa and has been heat treated to enhance its color. The Labradorite weighs approximately 1.25cts and is completely natural.

Labradorite is truly a fascinatingly beautiful mineral. It is usually a dull, dark looking mineral with no special characteristics until it is turned just right to show a beautiful glow floating on the surface. This colorful play of light is called labradorescence or schiller effect. These usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges. Labradorite, as well as Moonstone, Sunstone and other gems that exhibit labradorescence, is members of the Feldspar mineral group.

Sapphires belong to the corundum group which is set apart from other gemstones by their hardness. They are second in hardness to diamonds (the hardest mineral on Earth). While sapphires are most commonly thought of as blue, they also are found naturally in many “fancy colors” such as yellow, purple, pink, green or white.

In ancient times, Labradorite was considered a general "good luck" stone. It is also said to unleash the power of imagination and to help remove limitations. Some say it magnifies a person's strengths, originality, and relationship with others and it opens energy flow to centers most in need. Others believe it helps to remind us that even in the darkest of times, all colors and lights are still nurtured within us. Sapphires are associated with the attraction of divine favor to their owners and are mentioned in many religious histories around the world. They have long been recognized as a stone of prophecy and wisdom and even called the philosopher's stone. Wearing a sapphire can contribute to your mental clarity, your perception and your wisdom.
