Labradorite!

[bladespark]

I should be getting some very nice labradorite spheres and eggs in the mail shortly, so I decided to sell my slabs. First offer up to you guys, then they'll go on ebay, as usual. Labradorite is a form of feldspar that has what's called "chatoyance" or sometimes just "flash." It's like moonstone, and also a bit like tiger's eye, both of which are also chatoyant. What that means is that it has a optical property that causes colors to come and go depending on the angle you view them at. I tried to capture this in the photos below. All three of these are quite nice, though one of them has a much stronger flash than the other two. (And is priced accordingly.)



Slab #1 $10



Slab #2 $9



Slab #3 $15




Shipping on these is going to be a little more, because I can't just tuck them into an envelope. I can still send them first class, but it's going to be more like $3, or of course I can send by priority for $5.

First come, first serve, as usual.

How pretty! Man the colors those things reflect are spectacular!

As a side note, the gem arrived safely earlier this week! =D Thank you!
(A hole was puncture in the envelope as a side note.)

Glad it made it! Did it look like the hole was because of having the gem in there? I should probably pack the larger ones a little more carefully, I suppose.

xD I think it was because the one end of it like.. got pushed down hard enough to tear through it's protection AND the envelope alike! Pointy gem is pointy. =P But it's SO pretty .. and so tiny. x3
