Loving Labradorite

Labradorite is truly a fascinatingly beautiful mineral. Its a mineral whose charm is not fully noticed and may be overlooked if not viewed from the proper position. Generally a dull, dark looking mineral with no special virtue until the colorful shiller is observed glowing on the surface. Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections called labradorescence. The usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges. Some rare specimens display all these colors simultaneously.


The color display is from lamellar intergrowths inside the crystal. These intergrowths result from compatible chemistries at high temperatures becoming incompatible at lower temperatures and thus a separating and layering of these two phases. The resulting color effect is caused by a ray of light entering a layer and being refracted back and forth by deeper layers. This refracted ray is slowed by the extra travel through the layers and mixes with other rays to produce a light ray coming out that has a different wavelength than when it went in. The wavelength could correspond to the wavelength of a particular color, such as blue. The effect depends on the thickness and orientation of the layers. If the layers are too thick or too thin no color shiller is seen. The labradorescence is truly a one of a kind mineralogical experience and must be observed in person in order to truly appreciate its beauty.

Every one has done such a great job for the Fall Expo, Congrats!

P.S. Most stones are drilled so you don't have wire wrap them!

Agates

Agate is a type of chalcedony, usually at least slightly translucent and banded or with inclusions. It forms in concentric layers in a wide variety of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock.

Many agates are hollow, and in such cases the center commonly consists of quartz crystals directed towards the free space, forming a crystal-lined cavity, or geode. A layer of very fine crystals is known as "Drusy" or "Druse". Often the Drusy will be the color of the mineral underneath.

Agate has a hardness of about 7 on the Moh's scale. The name is derived from its occurrence at the Achates River in southwestern Sicily.

In many traditions agate is believed to cure the stings of scorpions and the bites of snakes, soothe the mind, prevent contagion, quiet thunder and lightning, secure the favor of the powerful, and bring victory over enemies.

Metaphysical Properties: Agates in general are known for being lower intensity stones. They are considered stabilizing and strengthening influences.

Welcome to Girls Night Out

Making progress

It seems that the picture index method of locating stones is working. Sales have been pretty good considering it is a new site. Thanks to all of you for all the support and encouragement.

The next step is to create indexing of like stones. There are still so many pictures to take. Back to work!!

GotRocks4Sale.com

Well we are getting there, two picture index pages are done. There's still some tweaking to do but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day. The site is getting some good traffic too, and even a couple sales (woohoo). Much work to do, so many beads. I guess when you start collecting things it can get out of hand! LOL.
