Larvakite Gemstone Beads

Crafted from the captivating Norwegian rock, Larvikite, our gemstone beads boast a shimmering display of silver-blue reflections that dance on their surface. Known scientifically as a variety of monzonite, this feldspar-rich stone is cherished for its labradorescence, a dazzling optical effect akin to the effect seen in Labradorite and Moonstone. Predominantly found in the Oslo Rift of Norway, Larvikite is an igneous rock, formed around 298 million years ago during the cooling of magma.

Facts: Larvikite has a rich history, not only in geology but also in cultural significance. It was named after the town of Larvik in Norway, where it was first discovered and is still quarried today. Valued for both its aesthetic beauty and its durability, Larvikite has been extensively used in construction and decoration throughout Scandinavia. The stone's distinct appearance has made it a popular choice for public and monumental buildings, earning it a prestigious reputation as a national stone.

Metaphysical / Holistic: Larvikite is believed to aid in clarity of thought, and to help harness mystical and physical vision. This connection to intuition and intellectual clarity makes it a powerful tool for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
