Labradorite Gemstone Beads Collection

What Is Labradorite?

Labradorite is a stunning feldspar gemstone prized for its magical iridescent flashes known as labradorescence. Labradorite often appears gray, smoky, or charcoal at first glance, but when light hits the stone, brilliant flashes of electric blue, teal, gold, green, aqua, copper, purple, and rainbow fire can suddenly appear across the surface.

This dramatic optical effect makes labradorite one of the most visually unique gemstones used in artisan jewelry and luxury beading designs.

Labradorite ranges from soft silver-gray and stormy charcoal to dark graphite tones with vivid flashes of blue, peacock teal, golden fire, or multicolor rainbow sheen.

With a Mohs hardness of approximately 6–6.5, labradorite is considered moderately durable for jewelry making and artisan beading projects.

Labradorite was first discovered in Labrador, Canada, where the gemstone received its name, though beautiful material is now sourced worldwide.

At Tiny Gem Supply, we specialize in carefully curated labradorite gemstone beads ranging from delicate micro gemstone beads to luxurious collector gemstone strands for refined jewelry and artisan beading designs.
