The faceted 4mm balls of labradorite are threaded into a strand with the length of 40cm. A coating was applied to the stones by a special process.
The process for surface refinement with the finest metal deposits comes from engineering and is called CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition). In this process, the strands are
in steam, which contains the materials of the coating. These materials are then deposited on the surface of the stones to form a finely dispersed layer. The exact composition of the surface coating is guarded by the manufacturers as a trade secret, since in some cases a carrier layer is applied first, followed by a colored layer in several steps. Various metals and metal compounds are used.
The coating with which the strands are covered is protected against light mechanical stress, but can basically be removed by polishing or partially in an ultrasonic bath. The coating serves an optical change and enhancement of the stone material.
The mineral received its name "Labradorite" in 1832 due to the first place of discovery on the Labrador Peninsula. Occasionally encountered spellings such as labardorite, labradoride, labradoriet, labradorite, labratorite or lapradorite are therefore incorrect.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
