Dragon's Eye Labradorite — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Pine Tree
Accepted payment methods
This Labradorite was a gamble. It was a 3-pound chunk we found hiding a tiny blue-green flash. We cut it to chase that flash. It has natural internal fractures. That's part of its story. We don't hide that.It was 95 degrees in the Oregon sun. We were 3,000 miles into a trip, tracking mineral deposits. We stumbled into Richardson's Rock Ranch. The locals said the blue was weak. Janyce didn't listen.Every stone in the Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection carries the heat and the gamble of that Oregon strike.— Bob & Janyce, Rockhound Studio, Spokane Valley WAThis is an oval cabochon, high polish finish. It measures approximately 1.5 inches long by 1 inch wide.This piece is set in a silver-tone alloy bezel with an integrated bail and comes with a silver plated snake chain, ready to wear.

From the bench
When the pine tree emerged in the flash I was shocked, and the herald inclusion looks like a branch
