I'm really hooked on Labradorite at the moment. Known as Firestone by the native Americans, it was found on the island of St Paul, Labrador, Canada, and some other locations such as China, India, Russia, Scandinavia, Australia and Madagascar. At first glance, out of the light, it just looks like a dull, grey stone, but move it about under a light, or outside in the sun, and it becomes quite mystical, irridenscent with flashes of blues, violets, greens, golds, pinks etc, almost like oil on water.
Yesterday I made this necklace to wear at my Confirmation, which took place yesterday evening at St Editha's, Amington, Tamworth. The flashes of colour in these particular rounds and the little nuggets inbetween, are particularly good. I just added antique bronze fastenings. Now I will have to buy a dress or top to really compliment the necklace!
Here's a shot of my stall at the recent Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Craft Fayre.
