The colors overlap and their boundaries shift as the piece moves, with no dominant monochromatic area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper bezel frames the stone with a rough electroformed texture that contrasts with the polished surface of the labradorite. The copper presents the irregular patina characteristic of the artisanal process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout copper electroforming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectroforming deposits copper onto a model through electrolysis. Unlike casting, it does not subject the mineral to heat, making it ideal for labradorites sensitive to thermal changes. The organic texture of the metal is a direct result of the electrochemical process, not a subsequent embossing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite in lapidary tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst described on the Labrador Peninsula (Canada) in 1770, labradorite was quickly adopted by Art Nouveau jewelry for its changing light effects. In Finland, it is known as the \"polar spectrum stone\". Symbolically, it is associated with intuition and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe symbolic properties attributed to minerals belong to cultural and historical traditions. They are shared for educational purposes, not as medical advice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat produces the rainbow effect in this labradorite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabradorescence arises from the optical interference between alternating layers of feldspar of different compositions. When several areas of the stone have layers of different thicknesses, each area produces a different color of the visible spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the multicolor flash the same from all angles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The visible colors and their distribution change with the observation angle. From some angles, blue will dominate; from others, gold or orange. This variability is part of what makes each labradorite unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for this piece?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid bumps, water, and chemicals. Copper can oxidize; store the piece in an airtight bag.
