Guaranteed genuine 100% natural lazasine not treated in any way... Exclusively made for us... Not seen anywhere else! We're the first and only company that has produced calibrated round beads out of this rare gemstone. This exotic material comes from a small private mine in Tibet. The mine is located at an elevation of 4,000 m, in a frigid area with thin air. There is no more mining, making this stone highly sought after. Lazasine is a gem-quality feldspar derived from volcano sediments related to Jurassic-Cretaceous volcanic rocks. This copper-bearing feldspar (andesine) is prized for its color and rarity. Orange-red to red is the typical color but green material is occasionally found. This red andesine is also called "Tibetan sunstone" and "Tibetan red labradorite", and endowed with spiritual power.

All of the beads I purchased with this order are lovely! High quality, and as is always hoped, nicer in person than in pictures!
My assistant says these are some of her favorite beads ever!!!

Research the “origins” of this “gemstone”
It may be worthwhile to do some research before purchasing this stone.

Glad to see this material show up here in the shop in various ways. Definitely has the feldspar flash to 'em, that's for sure. Shipping was fine as usual, thanks again.

Purchased in several sizes. They appear to be of a nice grade and are well cut. Larger red labradorite smooth beads aren't that easy to find, so I was happy to see these listed for sale. Thanks again! :-)
