Labradorite
Labradorite, the green that hides crystals
Labradorite is a stone that never lets itself be read all at once: the green ground, deep and mineral, is inhabited by crystalline zones that surface like islands of light, grey-blue fragments that change their reflection with every shift of the gaze. The camera slides across the slab and the surface responds: here a crystal ignites with a cold gleam, there a dark ramification crosses the field like a winter branch, and the whole vibrates with a secret life that makes every single slab distinctive. This is the signature of this natural stone: no two cuts are alike, and whoever chooses it takes home an unrepeatable specimen. Michelessi offers Labradorite in slabs and blocks for bespoke creations, ideal for flooring and interiors where its character can emerge in full light. The available finishes, honing, polishing and brushing, modulate its voice: quieter and matte, or brighter and iridescent. In the working of marble and natural stone, Italian craftsmanship finds in materials like this its most fascinating challenge: we invite you to observe it up close, because no photograph does justice to its reflections.
