I'm Not Really From Labrador
On different levels the labradorite is a stone with depth. Its labradorescence comes from inclusions of other minerals. Upon first glance, labradorite can be an unimpressive murky brown, but when light hits it the right way, its display of color will amaze you. Doesn't that sound like something/someone you'd like to get to know?
Aurora borealis is a type of topaz or rhinestone that shines with irridescence. The technique involves depositing a very thin layer of metallic atoms on the lower surface of the stone. This process was invented in 1955 by the Swarovski company together with Christian Dior.
Feeling tipsy? Wear an amethyst, which is believed to protect its owner from drunkenness. Want something rarer than diamonds? Have a tanzanite! Otherwise go for the raspberry tourmalines or mystic topazes!
