Labradorite Labradorite is named after the Canadian province of Labrador, the classic locality of this gemstone. Labradorite is often heavily flawed with internal dark lines and streaks; stones that are clean of flaws are rare. Some stones have a greater labradorescence effect then others, and a greater play of color increases the value of the Labradorite. A new reddish gemstone popularly called "Andesine" has recently sprung up on the gemstone market; this gemstone is formed by synthetically diffusing certain Labradorite with copper. Care should be handled with Labradorite, as it is sensitive to pressure and can easily crack or chip. Oxidized Silver A piece of blackened or oxidized silver is true sterling silver, but it's surface has been intentionally darkened through by introducing it to a chemical process. Like other patinas, oxidized silver is just a surface treatment and does not change the internal color or properties of the metal.
