Bali Labradorite Wholesale supplies labradorite to trade buyers. This page explains how we grade, how we describe origin, and what we refuse to assert.
Grading disclosed, not implied
Labradorite is sold on labradorescence — the flash — and the trade has no universal grading standard for it, which is precisely why wholesale descriptions drift. We publish the criteria we actually use: the percentage of the face that flashes, the dominant flash colour, the viewing angle at which it appears, and the presence of fractures or filled areas. A parcel described as high-flash on this site means it meets a stated threshold, not that it looked good in one photograph taken at the one angle that worked.
Origin and treatment statements
Most labradorite in circulation is Madagascan; some is Finnish spectrolite, which is a different and rarer proposition. We state which, and we do not use spectrolite as a loose descriptor for any strongly flashing stone. Any treatment, stabilisation or backing is disclosed on the parcel description. Where we cannot verify a mine-level origin claim from our supplier, we say the origin is unverified rather than repeating it as fact.
What we do not claim
We are not a gemmological laboratory and hold no laboratory accreditation, and no page here carries an individual gemmologist’s name or qualification. For a certificate, use an independent laboratory; our grading is a trade description, disclosed as such.
