A pretty stone, notoriously difficult to photograph.
In addition to displaying varying amounts of flash at different angles, the quality of light hitting the stone also subtly affects the shade. I discovered to my surprise that quite a few pieces I've shot look aqua in natural daylight, but at night under fluorescent lamps, the flash seems more gold-ish.
Tricksssssssy.
I've got several other things to blog about, but later.

- Good luck. Mine always looks really flat. :(

- Labradorite is one of my favorites too. But if you work with it you can get the effect you want. And since you make just gorgeous stuff it will probably sell even if it's in a burlap sack!
