{"product_id":"colgante-electrofomado-de-cobre-labradorita-arcoiris","title":"MOON Pendant · Rainbow Labradorite","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrescent moon pendant in electroformed copper with openwork arabesque filigree. The central stone is a tear-drop labradorite with full labradorescence — electric blue, aquamarine green, and golden-orange flashes that change with the angle of the light. Three small copper beads flank the stone on each side. Piece dimensions: 41×37 mm. Includes black leather cord, 60 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePiece Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eMineral\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLabradorite (plagioclase feldspar)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003ePiece dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e41×37 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eStone shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eTeardrop, free-form\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eMineral finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eMetal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eElectroformed copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eStone hardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e6–6.5 Mohs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eTreatment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eUntreated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eCord\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack leather, 60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003ePiece type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eUnique piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnique: Copper Electroforming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectroforming deposits metallic copper layer by layer onto a non-conductive model using electrical current. Unlike rolling or casting, it creates organic, rough-textured settings that cannot be reproduced with a mold. The arabesque filigree of this moon was built on a textile base that burns away during the process, leaving the intricate spiral framework in copper as a permanent structure. Over time, the metal develops a warm patina that intensifies the character of the piece; this can be slowed down with periodically applied carnauba wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThis Specific Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labradorite displays what gemologists call full spectral labradorescence: electric blue in the center, aquamarine green on the upper edge, and golden-orange reflections from the base. The phenomenon covers the entire surface without dull areas, which is not always the case, even in good quality labradorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe half-moon frames the stone as if it were its natural seat. The six copper beads balance the composition: the optical density of the mineral against the openwork filigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite in Lapidary Tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscovered on the Labrador Peninsula (Canada) in the 18th century, labradorite fascinated European naturalists with its ability to transform light into a visible spectrum. The Inuit linked it to the aurora borealis trapped in rock. In the 19th century, it entered cabinets of curiosities as one of the three great optical phenomenon stones, along with adularia and opal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal tradition, labradorite is associated with intuition and clear thinking in times of change. It is considered the stone for those who navigate uncertainty without losing their way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe symbolic properties attributed to minerals belong to cultural and historical traditions.

Labradorescence is optical interference in the internal layers of the mineral. This piece changes from intense blue to green and golden-orange within a few degrees of rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the labradorite treated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo detectable treatment. Statement based on lapidary observation; the piece does not include formal gemological certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for electroformed copper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged water exposure and direct cosmetics on the metal. Copper can develop a green patina (verdigris) with moisture — this is harmless and part of the material's character. To maintain the original tone, rub with a dry cloth.
