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. See Related Products tab for products and projects that go with this item.

    Larvikite

    Absolutely adore this bead! It is a soft, medium grey color with tiny flecks of black throughout. The stone has the same type of silvery-blue glow that you find in Labradorite.... pairing well with that stone as well as Rainbow Moonstone. Lovely!

Super Seven is an unusual form of quartz that is famous for having seven crystals in one. The seven are: Amethyst, Cacoxenite, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Rutile, Smoky Quartz, and Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal). Also known as the Melody Stone or Sacred Stone, the major (and possibly only) source for this stone is Espírito Santo, Brazil. Our strands are a lovely mixture of amethyst, clear quartz, and pale smoky quartz, with inclusions of reddish rutile needles, orangish tufts of cacoxenite, deep red lepidochrosite, and shimmering goethite. Many of these inclusions display lovely shimmers and aventurescence. See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.
