The Extra Blue Labradorite tiles, with their flamed finish are recommended for interior and exterior cladding projects from industrial areas, and public or residential. This type of finish is ideal in high traffic pedestrian areas, due to its non-slip feature.
Features
Labradorite is an igneous rock mainly composed of feldspar, and formed when liquid magma slowly freezes into solid rock, just like granite, the source of its trade name.
Labradorite’s main feature is "labradorescence", a type of iridescence caused by light diffraction, and perceived by the viewer as a brilliant play of colors. Such an effect is the results of a particular light reflection in certain planes oriented in one direction.
