Its defining characteristic is the silver-blue labradorescence produced by light reflecting off internal crystal layers, a phenomenon it shares with true Labradorite.

In the crystal community, Larvikite is sometimes called \"Norwegian Moonstone\" or \"Black Labradorite,\" though it's technically distinct from both.

This shimmer, called schiller, is similar to labradorite. Larvikite is often called Norwegian moonstone and is Norway's national rock. It has been used for building facades and polished countertops around the world, and its flashy dark surface makes it a favorite for carvings and decorative stone. Unlike labradorite, which flashes in many colors, larvikite usually shows a cooler silver-blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/larvikite-crystal-meaning-healing-properties-uses\"\u003eLarvikite Crystal Meaning, Properties and Uses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/carved-crystal-animal-shapes-meaning-power\"\u003eCarved Crystal Animal Shapes and Their Meaning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring home this larvikite raven skull and add a flash of dark, silvery magic to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Destiny #1","offers":[{"title":"Larvikite \/ 100mm","offer_id":48299889885355,"sku":"1005013222465813-Larvikite-10CM","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/Larvikite-Raven-Skull-Carving-Carvings_c1f80281.jpg?v=1792477229"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/collections\/larvikite-crystals.oembed","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
