Natural Black Spinel and Labradorite Necklace

Labradorite – A Magical Play of Colour
Labradorite is famous for its remarkable optical effect, known as labradorescence or schiller. As light moves across the gemstone, beautiful flashes of electric blue and rich green appear to dance beneath its surface.
This natural effect comes from tiny layers within the crystal that interact with light. As a result, the colours seem to shift and change with every movement. Furthermore, the labradorite’s fine facets enhance its beauty, while the black spinel provides a dramatic contrast.
Discover more about this fascinating effect in the GIA Guide to Phenomenal Gemstones.
Black Spinel – Beautiful Natural Sparkle
Black spinel is particularly admired for its deep, rich colour and brilliant shine. In fact, the name spinel may come from the Latin word spina, meaning thorn, a reference to the pointed shape of some natural spinel crystals.
Unlike many black gemstones, finely faceted spinel reflects light with an attractive, lively sparkle. Consequently, even these delicate 2mm beads create a striking effect.
