Spectrolite
No spectrolite in the world is as beautiful as the one from Finland. Dark feldspar forms the base for a color spectrum that shimmers in the sun’s rays. As if the rainbow had been captured in a stone.

Spectrolite – the Finnish stone that shifts through every colour
Spectrolite is an exceptionally colourful labradorite found only in Ylämaa in south-eastern Finland. The stone was discovered in 1940 and takes its name from its ability to show every colour of the spectrum – blue, green, gold and violet that flare and fade as light moves across the surface. No two stones are alike.
Guldviva sets spectrolite by hand in recycled 925 sterling silver and 18K gold, in our workshop on Åland. Our spectrolite jewellery includes necklaces and pendants, earrings, a ring, an anklet and cufflinks, in series such as BASIC, PEAK, REDE, GLORIA and HEART OF FINLAND. See also our jewellery with Åland granite.
Frequently asked questions
What is spectrolite?
Spectrolite is a labradorite with an unusually strong play of colour, found only in Ylämaa in south-eastern Finland. The stone has a dark base and shows blue, green, yellow and violet when the light hits it at the right angle.
What is the difference between spectrolite and labradorite?
Spectrolite is a variety of labradorite. The name is used only for the Finnish stone, which shows more and stronger colours than ordinary labradorite.
Does all spectrolite jewellery look the same?
No. Every stone has its own play of colour, so the piece you receive may differ in colour from the photo. That is part of the stone's character.
How do I care for spectrolite jewellery?
Spectrolite is softer than quartz, for example, and can scratch. Take the piece off when exercising, swimming and cleaning, and wipe it with a soft cloth.
