Raw natural Labradorite or Spectrolite.
In some specimens you can see the iridescent blue and yellow sparkles that characterize this mineral, this phenomenon is known as labradorescence.
The name Labradorite comes from the Inuit of Labrador in Canada as they claim that the northern lights or aurora borealis were trapped within the labradorite rocks.
The piece you receive may differ slightly from the photo shown as the minerals are natural and no piece is identical. The size is approximate.
