Tổng quan về sản phẩm
Đá granite xanh Labradorite is more than just a stone; it is a natural light show. Quarried primarily in Madagascar, this exotic material is technically an Anorthosite but is commercially classified as granite due to its extreme hardness. The background is a deep, mysterious mix of black, moss green, and grey, which serves as a canvas for the spectacular iridescent crystals.
The defining feature of Labradorite Blue is its ability to refract light. As you move across the room, the stone changes appearance, flashing brilliant electric blues and golds. Because of its Semi-Precious nature and high density, it is a top choice for clients who want a “jewelry-grade” centerpiece for their kitchen islands or bar tops. As a professional Stone Manufacturer in China, Đá Caron sources the most vibrant blocks and processes them into high-gloss polished slabs.

Câu hỏi thường gặp (FAQ)
Q1: Is Labradorite Blue a Granite or a Gemstone?
It is both. Geologically, it is an Anorthosite mineral rich in feldspar. In the stone industry, it is sold as a durable granite. However, Labradorite is also used in jewelry, making it a “đá bán quý surface.”
Q2: Why does the stone change color?
This is called Labradorescence. It is an optical interference caused by internal structures in the mineral that reflect light as blue or gold. It is not a pigment; it is light refraction.
Q3: Is it durable enough for kitchens?
Yes, absolutely. Đá granite xanh Labradorite is very hard (Mohs 6.5), dense, and resistant to staining and etching. It is much more durable than marble.
Q4: Does it sparkle in the dark?
No, it needs a light source to reflect. It looks best under direct lighting (like pendant lights over an island) or natural sunlight.
Q5: Is it expensive?
Yes, Labradorite is considered a high-end exotic stone (“Super Exotic”). It is priced higher than standard granites due to its semi-precious nature.
Q6: Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, it is UV stable. However, we recommend it mostly for indoor use so you can control the lighting to maximize the blue flash.
Q7: What cabinet colors fit best?
Màu đen cabinets create a seamless, moody look. Màu trắng cabinets provide high contrast. Dark Wood adds warmth.
Q8: Do you have stock in China?
Yes, we import high-quality blocks from Madagascar and keep polished slabs in stock at our China factory.
Q9: Does it need sealing?
Yes, like all natural stones, we recommend sealing it once a year to prevent any oil absorption into the micro-fissures.
Q10: What is the lead time?
For in-stock slabs, 7-10 days. For custom cut-to-size projects, please allow 3-4 weeks.
