Labradorite is a feldspar mineral prized for its striking play of color, known as labradorescence, which displays vivid flashes of blue, green, gold, and sometimes orange or purple. Dakota Stones offers labradorite beads in a range of shapes and finishes, making them versatile for both statement and accent jewelry. The stone's durability and unique optical effects make it popular for contemporary and bohemian designs. Labradorite's natural color variations and internal fractures are typical and add to its visual appeal.
