Spectrolite is a plagioclase feldspar that shows remarkable iridescence in the form of a schiller or metallic luster when the light hits the stone from particular angles.
What are some of the properties of spectrolite gemstones
This iridescence is termed "labradorescence" and is thought to be caused by fine platelets of varying composition and minute inclusions that diffract the light. Spectrolite is a trade name for a rare labradorite from Finland that exhibits the spectral colors. Some spectrolite gemstones will show violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red iridescence.
What are good ways to use spectrolite gemstones
A great way to use Spectrolite is in a pendant. Spectrolite gemstones can be mounted in gold, white gold, or silver for earring, ring, and pendant designs. This gemstone is very versatile and beautiful thus is suitable for many types of jewelry.
man their gems are pretty good, and the prices aren't to bad either, I like checking out hte gems on there website, beceause the pictures of the gems are taken pretty well, and you can see the table, and the facets.
I love gemselect and I have bought a fair amount from them. The only complaint I have is not being able to save gems. I have a lot of projects so i am in the market for a lot of different gems and it's so disappointing to have to delete them all just to purchase one or two that I have saved in my cart.
Great website to navigate. Awesome Gem selection! Nice photos and discriptions for all of the gems for sale. You can find gems in all price ranges. Checkout was a breeze.
They had an extensive gemstone selection in all different cuts, sizes, and colors. They also had very good and workable prices. All of these aspects pulled me in as a customer.
