The luminescent labradorite gemstone cabochons shown here are 14mm long.  They are available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you.

Labradorite is a feldspar, and like moonstone, has what is known as the schiller effect. It is also known as spectrolite, black moonstone, and falcon’s eye. Labradorite is said to bring good luck. It is supposed to aid with healing emotional wounds, calming and reducing negativity.

I used a similar cabochon in creating this custom piece:

Neon Apatite and Labradorite Sterling Silver Bangle

The pyrite gemstone cabochons shown here are 6mm in diameter, and are available to be handcrafted into custom pieces for you.

The mineral pyrite (or iron pyrite) is an iron sulfide. This mineral’s metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. Pyrite may tarnish with humidity. If you keep it in closed plastic bag, just like sterling silver, it will not tarnish.
