Red Labradorite Feldspar is a captivating and less common variety of labradorite, prized for its warm base color ranging from soft peach to rich brick red, often displaying the characteristic iridescent play of color known as labradorescence. This Schiller effect, typically in shades of gold, orange, green, and sometimes even violet, dances across the stone's surface as it catches the light, creating a dynamic and visually engaging gemstone. While sharing the same feldspar mineral composition as its more familiar grey counterpart, the red hues add a unique and fiery energy. Often cut as cabochons or polished freeforms to best showcase its internal glow, Red Labradorite is believed to possess grounding and protective qualities, making it not only a beautiful gem but also one sought after for its metaphysical properties.
