Larvikite cabochons

Larvikite cabochons for jewellery making

Cool flashy Larvikite cabochons - not the most common material to find cabs cut from, but nice.

Larvikite is a feldspar mineral similar to Labradorite, but with a more muted colour. Larvikite is typically a grey to black mineral with streaks and flashes of white to grey to blue colours but none of the yellows, pinks, greens, etc of Labradorite.

It is a relatively cheap stone, and believe it or not, is actually used in British anti erosion defences along the sea shores. It is also used commercially for decorative stonework, such as facades on commercial buildings like banks, or countertops.
