Dragon's Eye Labradorite — Richardson's Rock Ranch — The Easter Egg

Janyce was at work. I was running three at a time on the wheel. When you cut them together the effect dulls — they compete. I pulled them apart and this one stopped me. Full face pink flash. No inclusions breaking it up. Clean across the whole stone. The Richardson Strike →

Pink flash in Dragon's Eye Labradorite almost never happens. The layer thickness inside the stone has to be exactly right. Most of the time it isn't. This time it was. I set it down and waited for Janyce to get home. When she saw it she said it looked like an Easter egg. She picked the setting herself. The Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection →
