The great majority of labradorite in the market is cabochoned and displays a sheen called labradorescence. Facet grade labradorite is much less common and presents some challenges. Obtaining a nice polish takes patience. This artistic gem has been given a beautiful cut in a design called Banora by Wilf Ross. The design is similar to a portuguese crown and a standard brilliant pavilion with 2 extra rows of triangular faces beneath the girdle. 120 faces of sparkle!

In the photos this stone shows more golden, however in hand the colour is not orangey. This gem would suit a more gently worn piece such as a pendant where it will not be subjected to knocks.

This gemstone has strong presence and will certainly make a visual impact! A Portuguese cut gives the stone a hypnotic whirlpool effect. You can easily lose yourself in this gem. Portuguese cut stones are quite deep. This stone will suit a bold statement piece.

Upon spotting this gorgeous orange coloured rough in her collection, the artist recalled a gem design by Arya Akhavan called Wanna Fanta. Cue that catchy Fanta jingle from the 00's. Large pavillion faces give the bright flashes which zircon does so well, but not so much bling as to overpower the colour. The gem does have a faint brown modifier in the orange colour.
