Anyone Good With Stone Identification?

So I was thrifting today and I found this piece along with some other shells and coral. On one side it seems very much like a stone. Could be glass? Could it be something interesting or just a broken piece of a vase LOL? Opinions would be...

Oh wow! That looks exactly like Labradorite.

Gorgeous.

It is actually only found up here in Canada's Labrador region! So, yeah, a lovely, lucky find for you.

(I have some jewelry pieces containing this stone, so when I saw it, I knew immediately :) )

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Thank you!!! I am so happy I found it. I'm considering getting it shaped into a piece of jewelry but I almost hate to alter it:)

@ravenwind43 You are most welcome! :D

I wonder: If one uses the wire technique, would it even have to be altered?

I have a ring, actually it is a Labradorite stone and it's encased in the sterling silver wire, very cool.

I can't even tell the difference from Richards and Jagger.

It looks like a labradorite. One of my favorites... they're so beautiful.

@StarLily oops I see someone else already pointed that out.

@ravenwind43

That is cool.

Do the colors ripple when you play loud music?

ravenwind43 · 51-55, F

@JoyfulSilence hmmm. Never considered that but willing to try.:)

@ravenwind43

I hope it sings, too.

Yet if it only sings in your mind, that is fine, too.

@RebelFox You certainly do....impressive! This isn't my area but I am always for learning new things.

ravenwind43 · 51-55, F

@RebelFox Yes. It has even more special significance to me now. Definitely keeping:)

Thrifting is fun.

I am no expert on minerals.

Always fun to see what we can find.

@CestManan Yes this was a local type place:)

CestManan · 46-50, F

@ravenwind43 Those local ones tend to have a lot more variety and upredictability.
I have found that Goodwill tends to have a selection that never changes, and I wonder then where all the other stuff goes.

ravenwind43 · 51-55, F

@CestManan I would agree, though the Goodwills near me change out their stuff pretty frequently. I don't know if it's everywhere, but Sundays are dollar day for certain colors. It's crazy in there! People leave with filled carts.
