Larvikite, more commonly known as black labradorite, is an igneous rock that occurs only in the Oslo rift near Larvik, Norway. Like labradorite, larvikite is a coarse-grained mixture of plagioclase and feldspar. Individual grains of anorthoclase within the stone catch the light, giving it an iridescent, chatoyant quality that is often described as labradorescence.Larvikite is light to dark bluish gray, with silvery, light-blue reflections and flecks of black. In addition to its use as a gemstone, it is popular as a facing stone on both the interiors and exteriors of buildings. Larvikite is used in New York City's United Nations building and a multitude of banks and pubs in the United Kingdom (hence the aka "pub stone"). Healers believe this stone enhances psychic abilities and helps maintain vitality and youthfulness.

As with many semiprecious gemstones, identifying a stone accurately can be tricky!African turquoise looks very similar to variquoise, a unique combination of variscite and turquoise found in Utah and Nevada.

Our Sonora Jasper beads have striking desert-landscape patterns in subtle desert colors of red, brown, tan, cream and gray-blue. The tracks and circles on these beads are reminiscent of the famed "canals" on Mars, as well as dentritic sun-dried waterways on Earth. Our beads are not as vivid in hue as classic Sonora Sunrise or Sonora Sunset, but what they lack in hue, they make up for in dramatic patterns. Jaspers stones are believed to carry a strong connection to the Earth's energy, making jasper a helpful stone for grounding, stability and strength.Find related items below, and find out more about jasper in our Gemstone Index.

Onyx is a striped, semiprecious variety of agate, with white, black, brown or red alternating bands. It is different from regular agate only in that the bands of which it is composed are parallel and regular. The name onyx originates from the Greek word onyx for "fingernail" or "hoof," probably because of its weak transparency or possibly its color. Onyx may chip or scratch rather easily, so store it carefully.Nearly all black onyx on the market has been rendered a uniform, permanent black color with a treatment using sugar and acid (and/or heat). This process has been used on the gemstone for thousands of years and is water safe.Onyx is one of the 12 stones mentioned in the Bible as adorning the breastplate of the high priests.Metaphysically, onyx is believed to help eliminate apathy, stress and neurological disorders, eliminate negative thinking, and sharpen the wits of the wearer. It is used to change habits, in addition to helping concentration levels and aiding absentmindedness. Some think it makes the wearer more eloquent, and thus it is worn for public speaking. The main sources of onyx are India and South America, but it is also found in China, Madagascar, Mexico and the U.S.A.
