*Ylämaa spectrolite quarries, Ylämaa area, Lappeenranta, South Karelia, Finland

A rough slab ready for you to polish.  This piece is thick enough it could be "butterflied" to make a matching set of mirrored cabs.

Spectrolite is a rare form of labradorite that is mined exclusively in Ylämaa, Finland, and officially recognized as Finland's national gemstone. Discovered during WWII defense construction in 1940, it differs from ordinary labradorite by having an opaque dark base and displaying a rich, full-spectrum iridescence reminiscent of the Northern Lights.
