The surface shows visible zoning: the lower half tends towards grayer tones, and the upper half activates blue with more intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts larger size (41×19 mm) gives it presence as a main pendant. The copper bezel follows the oval shape of the stone with a rough electroformed finish.\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 subsequent repoussé work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLabradorite in lapidary tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst described in the Labrador Peninsula (Canada) in 1770, labradorite was quickly adopted by Art Nouveau jewelry for its shifting light effects. In Finland, it is known as \"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 does \"duo\" in the name mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt refers to the two main color fields: the blue-gray background and the central golden shimmer. The bicolor distribution gives it a more contained character than the rainbow labradorites in the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the flash intense or subtle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore subtle than the other labradorites in this series. The labradorescence is real and clearly visible under direct light, but without the extreme saturation of gold flash or rainbow. Ideal if you are looking for a pendant with color movement that doesn't dominate the ensemble.\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.
