What causes the flash in Hypersthene?

The beautiful, velvety silver-purple flash is caused by the parallel alignment of microscopic internal structures, creating a 'schiller' or chatoyant optical effect.

Is Hypersthene the same as Labradorite?

No, while it is sometimes trade-named 'Velvet Labradorite' due to the similar optical flash, Hypersthene is an entirely different mineral (an inosilicate) with a darker, more metallic luster.

Can Hypersthene be used in men's jewelry?

Yes! With its dark, metallic, and sophisticated appearance, Hypersthene is incredibly popular for high-end men's rings, cufflinks, and bracelets.

We source our high-quality Hypersthene rough primarily from premium deposits in Canada and the United States.
