Labradorite is a mesmerizing and captivating gemstone known for its iridescent play of colors. It is a feldspar mineral and belongs to the plagioclase series. Labradorite is named after the region of Labrador in Canada, where it was first discovered, although it can also be found in other parts of the world.
What sets labradorite apart is its unique optical phenomenon called labradorescence, which is the display of vibrant flashes of color when the stone is viewed from different angles. These flashes can include shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, and even purple. The phenomenon is caused by the interference and scattering of light by microscopic layers of various minerals within the crystal structure.
The Miraculous Medal and Pardon Crucifix complete this heirloom quality rosary. The pardon crucifix is a crucifix that incorporates promises of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment for sins). The pardon crucifix serves as a reminder of God’s mercy and the importance of seeking forgiveness for one’s sins. (A handout is included with this rosary that explains the Pardon Crucifix, history and indulgences)
