Madagascar Labradorite Stone (approx. 80-168g, 40-60mm)
The Madagascar Labradorite Stone is the “medium” piece in the labradorite range: large enough for all the details of labradorescence to be clearly visible, yet still a hand-filling, palm-fitting form. This size category is one of the most popular among collectors, as the stone retains its natural form while polishing makes the surface smooth and shiny.
Technical Data
- Material: Labradorite (semi-precious gemstone)
- Origin: Madagascar
- Shape: natural/tumbled polished
- Size: approx. 40–60 mm
- Weight: approx. 80–168 g

Characteristics
From the labradorite’s dark greenish-grey base colour, the characteristic blue, green, and gold flashes of labradorescence emerge from the right angle. Stones in this size category offer enough surface area for the light play to “flow” across the surface, rather than concentrating in a single point.
How to Use
Ideal as a shelf decoration, interior design element, or a highlight piece in a crystal collection. Held and rotated in the hand, it can also serve as an excellent meditation or stress-relief aid. Due to its larger size, it makes a spectacular impression as a gift — either on its own or packaged with smaller stones.
Why Choose This?
This size category offers the best balance of price, size, and spectacular light play. The 80–168 g weight means the stone has a “real presence” in the hand, while the 40–60 mm size makes it a striking feature on a shelf. The Madagascar origin assurances premium labradorescence.
Tips
- Place it where natural or strong artificial light can reach it — this brings out the labradorescence at its best.
- Occasionally rotate the stone so you can enjoy the light play from different angles.
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid strong chemicals.
