- What is larvikite?
- Larvikite is a feldspar-rich rock from Norway, valued for the blue and silver flash it shows when light hits the stone. It is sometimes sold as black labradorite, though the two are different stones.
- Will the bracelet fit my wrist?
- The inner diameter is about 2-1/8 to 2-3/8 inches (5.5 to 6 cm), which fits most adult wrists. Because it stretches, it slips on without a clasp, but it cannot be tightened or loosened.
- Are the beads real stone?
- The bracelet is described as natural larvikite, so each bead is cut stone. Expect slight differences in color and flash between beads and between bracelets.
- How many beads are on each bracelet?
- Each bracelet carries 22 to 25 beads of 8 mm, depending on the finished length. The count varies because the beads are natural and not perfectly uniform.
- Can I wear it in water?
- Better to take it off for showers, swimming and dishes. Water and soap degrade elastic cord over time, and repeated soaking weakens the stretch.
- How does it compare with a labradorite bracelet?
- Both are gray feldspar stones with a flash, but larvikite tends toward silver and blue-gray, while labradorite often shows more varied colors. Larvikite is usually the more subdued, everyday option.
