Large labradorite is one of the few stones where a bigger size does not push the price up sharply, and this one makes the point: 19.6 carats for Rs. 3,380.

That is about Rs. 172 per carat. A pendant is the obvious use. Mount it in a silver frame with a secure bail, or discuss a custom silver ring setting with us on WhatsApp at +92 308 887 3888. A ring needs a deep bezel because the stone is large, and with a hardness of 6 to 6.5 it should be worn with care.

For earrings the stone is too heavy, so keep it for a single-statement piece instead.

The reference is GSN-LB-06. Labradorite is usually untreated, and we will give you what we know about this one on request.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural labradorite with a weight of 19.6 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,380 — roughly Rs. 172 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GSN-LB-06 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale labradorite rates 6 to 6.5. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy labradorite from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every labradorite for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
