Purple Labradorite

- dyed/coated, flatback cabochons

Coated labradorite is a gemstone that has been given an additional surface coating to enhance its color, luster, or other visual properties. The coating can add a protective sheen, create a more uniform look, or introduce new colors like gold or purple that are not part of the stone's natural labradorescence, which is the internal flash of color that occurs when light hits the gem. 

Purple dyed labradorite, while not naturally occurring in that color, is believed to enhance intuition, spiritual growth, and protection, while also promoting self-discovery and access to higher consciousness. Overall, labradorite crystal is said to be a protective guardian, warding off negativity both externally and internally. Some say it eases self-sabotage, enabling you to pursue your dreams. Labradorite is a feldspar gemstone known for displaying a stunning internal iridescence called “labradorescence,” a type of adularescence. This feature is sometimes called “schiller.”
