Larvikite Tumbled Stone - 10-25 mm
Product Description
Larvikite Tumbled Stones are dark grey to near-black pieces carrying a silver-blue shimmer that moves across the surface as the stone turns. The schiller sits within the polished stone as a soft metallic sheen rather than a bright flash, giving each tumble an understated, elegant look. These pieces range from small to mid-sized in the hand.
Larvikite is traditionally associated with grounding, protection, and intuitive awareness. It is commonly carried as a steadying stone, held during meditation or reflective work, or kept close for a calm, protective presence. Its subtle sheen and dark colouring make it a quietly striking everyday carry and a favourite among collectors of feldspar-rich stones.
The strength and coverage of the silver-blue schiller vary from stone to stone; some pieces show a broad sheen and others only a narrow glint, so each catches the light in its own way.

Geological Information
Larvikite is an igneous rock, an augite syenite (Mohs 6-6.5), whose distinctive silver-blue schiller is produced by light interference in layered feldspar crystals within the rock matrix. It is untreated natural material. Although it is commonly sold as Black Labradorite, and also called Norwegian Moonstone or Blue Pearl Granite in architectural contexts, none of these names is mineralogically accurate; it is larvikite, not labradorite or moonstone. It is widely used as an architectural stone worldwide, seen in building facades and countertops, and is named after Larvik, Norway. Genuine material comes exclusively from the Larvik region of Norway.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
