This Spectrolite specimen from Finland displays a vivid, concentrated flash of color that feels positively luminous against its dark feldspar base. Bands of electric blue, golden yellow, violet and red shift across the polished face, creating a layered, almost painterly effect as the viewing angle changes.
Powerful in visual impact, this piece is an excellent example of why Finnish Spectrolite is treasured among collectors seeking strong optical phenomena and legendary minerals.

Spectrolite is often associated with transformation, intuition, and energetic shielding. Its shifting internal colors are seen as symbolic of perspective and hidden potential, making it a favorite for personal spaces focused on creativity and reflection.
Finland is the only place in the world with the proper geological conditions to form the elite type of labradorite known as Spectrolite. Because of this, there are strict mining regulations. Less than 50 kilograms are allowed to mined per year, per supplier. Considering that there are only two suppliers in the world, that’s only 220lbs distributed per year for the entire world.
Finnish Spectrolite is a distinct variety of labradorite discovered during wartime excavations in Finland and is valued for displaying a wider, more saturated spectrum of labradorescence than material from other localities. Pieces showing multiple strong color zones — especially blues paired with warm tones — are particularly sought after by collectors of optical minerals.
Authentic Spectrolite from Finland
Strong multicolor labradorescence
Extremely Rare
Hand Polished
Ideal for collections focused on optical minerals
Spectrolite is a variety of labradorite, a plagioclase feldspar. Its signature color play is caused by microscopic lamellar structures within the crystal that refract light. Finnish material is especially prized due to the unusually well-developed internal lamellae, which create intense spectral flashes across a broad range of colors.
