Labradorite Extra Blue AquaStorm is a premium natural stone, appreciated for its spectacular appearance and outstanding technical properties. A volcanic-origin material, labradorite is distinguished by its labradorescence – the visual effect of blue, green, or golden iridescent reflections depending on the angle of light. With a feldspar-rich composition, this stone combines elegance with strength, making it an ideal choice for distinctive interior and exterior design projects.
Advantages of Using Labradorite Extra Blue AquaStorm
The exclusive AquaStorm finish – achieved through a combination of sandblasting with waterjet treatment and brushing – provides an anti-slip, elegant, and highly wear-resistant surface. Thanks to its high density and hardness (6–6.5 on the Mohs scale), Extra Blue labradorite is suitable for high-traffic areas, wet environments, and spaces exposed to extreme temperatures. Its deep blue color and metallic reflections transform any floor or wall into a striking visual focal point.
