That looks beautiful! I love Labradorite! But as far as I can tell it is impossible to tumble. Is it tricky to cab?

That's a beautiful pendant Don! dottyt - lab is wonderful to cab. Soft enough to grind easily, but easily polished.

Beautiful pendant! The outer silver frame matches so well the shape of the stone.

Beautiful piece. I like the clean simple lines of it with that showstopper of a stone.

Labradorite is such a pain to orient correctly, you did an excellent job.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. Re: the stone, I gave up cabbing labradorite a long time ago; too much of a pain to orient the rough and preform to get the optimum color. It's so much easier to go to a rock and gem show, find someone with a big tray of finished stones and pick out the ones I like best. The price is still very reasonable on good labradorite.

Love the form of the silverwork. Elegant, yet allows then stone to be the star of the show. Well done.
