Large labradorite is one of the few stones where extra size does not push the price up sharply, and this 19.60 carat piece proves the point.

A pendant is the obvious use. Mount it in a silver frame with a secure bail, or talk to us about a custom silver ring by messaging us on WhatsApp quoting GSN-LB-06. A ring needs a deep bezel because the stone is large, and with a hardness of 6 to 6.5 it should be worn with care. It is too heavy for earrings, so keep it for a single statement piece.

Labradorite is usually untreated, and we will tell you what we know about this one on request. Independent lab testing is your choice. The wider labradorite listing shows other sizes if you would like something lighter.

Mind the weight on thin chains, and choose a sturdy clasp so nothing slips.

When it arrives, look at it in daylight and tilt it slowly to see the flash spread across the dome. Clean it with a soft damp cloth and store it on its own.

You pay only after opening the parcel and seeing the stone. Karachi orders usually take 1 to 2 working days, the rest of Pakistan 2 to 4, and you can return it unused within 7 days. Before you choose, read our labradorite guide.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural labradorite with a weight of 19.6 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,380 — roughly Rs. 172 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GSN-LB-06 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale labradorite rates 6 to 6.5. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy labradorite from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every labradorite for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
