Item Description

Spectrolite is the trade name for Labradorite which shows a strong internal "shiller", and is only found in a few world localities. The most famous Spectrolite is found in Finland, and was described by the famous Finnish geologist, Aarne Laitakari. This stone is from Madagascar, and is not only one of the VERY few cat's eye Spectrolite gems that I have seen, but one of the very few cat's eye Feldspars that I have handled. The stone has a rich bronzy-red color, with a few sharp, distinct "eye" running lengthwise across the gem. A great rarity, and an interesting gem to be sure. Well worth the $100 starting bid.
