Turtle Figurine Labradorite Carved 3.6 inch Gemstone Carving #O32

Product Description

Turtle Labradorite Stone Figurine 

This lovely gemstone turtle figurine is hand carved from iridescent Labradorite.

This unique hand carved turtle is 3.6 inches long by 2.4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.

Semiprecious gemstone Labradorite has a background color of dark gray, but displays a beautiful iridescence, giving off rainbow-colored reflections known as labradorescence when light hits it in certain directions.

Labradorite is a feldspar and it shows the iridescent display of colors due to minute inclusions of another mineral.

It is named after where it was first found: Labrador, Canada, although our gemstone material comes from Madagascar.

Metaphysical Properties: Labradorite is thought by some to symbolize the moon and the sun. It is said to assist the wearer to handle changes, promoting strength and perseverance.

Turtles live to a very old age and therefore are often associated with long life. We can learn much about time and the perception of time by listening to the turtle. In most Native American cultures the turtle is the symbol of Mother Earth.
