Crystal Comparison: Larvikite VS Labradorite VS Black Moonstone

[@anjiestarot]

I'm a labridorite crystal fan!! But recently I saw larvikite and fell in love with it!!! It chose me ❤️thank you for a wonderful video!!

[@andrewm2971]

This...this makes all the difference. All the time spent searching for stone and trying to figure what is real ca what’s fake vs what is misidentified. Having you really highlight the differences by putting them side by side with multiple examples is sooooooo helpful.

[@UrbanPixieDesigns]

This was SO helpful. As a collector with a lot of labradorite, my go-to… but was curious as to how these compared. Thanks so much for a perfect visual - as a neurospicy human I appreciate it a lot! Subscribed for more!

[@starchildsadventuresoneart9800]

This is the best comparison video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@louigibeuuk9118]

I absolutely love these comparison videos Jen. Thanks so much. 👍👍👍

[@CrystalGuidance]

Thank you so much, Erin! I am excited to keep creating and sharing them with everyone. :)

[@victoriarichardson3150]

Very informative and the visual comparisons really make a difference Thank you

[@CrystalGuidance]

I'm so glad that you find it helpful! :)

[@Bloodpig]

Thank you so much. I had black labradorite and Larvikite listed in the same description. But I now know it’s Larvikite that I have. I will check back with some other stones for sure. Thanks again 😊

[@mjade1673]

Its not from nepheline😇 "Even though the main mineral in larvikite is feldspar, the rock type also contains some olivine, clinopyroxene, amphibole, biotite, magnetite and apatite. Sometimes there is also a little nepheline present. Some of these minerals are dark, but feldspar and nepheline are lighter, and it is the variations in the content of the light and dark minerals that causes the layering."

[@strangesocks]

Thanks for the video, been so frustrated with all the sites that show larvikite as labradorite and was sure they weren't the same gemstones

[@CrystalGuidance]

Glad I could help!

[@Eris1701]

I bought a larvikite that was being sold as an indigo gabbro/merlinite and didn’t know enough about the stones to know the larvikite was misnamed. And fell in love with larvikite!

[@carolpatenaude7283]

Very informative, now I don’t feel so bad misidentify crystals, cause some samples are really close and I can see how it can be Misidentified. Just have to keep learning. Thanks 😁

[@CrystalGuidance]

You are so right! Some crystals can look so similar that it is hard to tell them apart. I hope these videos (and the future ones) help you along your learning journey!

[@RUSIKful]

I tested Larvikite myself and I'd say the black inclusions in it are Magnetite because they have a magnetic quality. Thank you for this video

[@CrystalGuidance]

Thank you for the information!

[@Myfanwy369]

Omgods thank you!!! This video was extremely helpful

[@lynnepostings]

What a fantastic video .. so informative ... your demonstrations are so interesting and easy to get into ... plenty of crystals are used as comparisons which is so very helpful. I had heard of Lavikite before but never actually seen any .. but now I love it ... and must have some 😁 Your channel is new to me .. but instantly loved it ! Thank you .. subscribed 💕

[@CrystalGuidance]

Thank you so much! I do my best to offer as many examples as I can with what I have in my personal collection. When I buy more crystals I just tell my husband it is for future crystal videos. lol

[@lynnepostings]

@@CrystalGuidance 😄😂🤣 ... Oh you are sly ! That's what we women do though isn't it ? 😁 Take care 👋 💕

[@debbgreer]

Hello Jenn.. Can you provide more information on Black Moonstone.

[@kilachambers8092]

You are so knowledgeable and easy to listen too !!♡ I loved this video so much ! Thank You for taking your time to make this !

[@CrystalGuidance]

You're most welcome and thank YOU for your kind compliments! :)

[@alchemyarts3490]

Fantastic video and info! It’s refreshing to see your *highly educated* video posts.

[@CrystalGuidance]

Thank you so much!

[@artawhirler]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@amberm2777]

I love anything from the feldspar family. Isn't amazonite also a feldspar? This was a good breakdown thank you 🙂

[@CrystalGuidance]

I agree 100%! And, yes, Amazonite is in the Feldspar family. :)

[@rexwinfarrahcrystalsyoutub2275]

Hi I find raw lavakite on a beach and it has copper flash in the black peices

[@hilaryjohnson1693]

Hi! I was wondering if you had the video about identifying Hypersthene from Larvikite. I know you touched on this but I have two stones that are tumbled that I know are Larvikite and one Hypersthene. Can you link the video on identifying the Hypersthene? Thank you so much for this information! :)

[@CrystalGuidance]

I do not have a video specifically for Hypersthene yet. It is on my list of videos to shoot. This Larvikite video is the closest match to what you are looking for.

[@hilaryjohnson1693]

@@CrystalGuidance thanks, I just bought them both at the same time and during a earthquake a while back things sort of got shifted and now I’m like 😩 but thank you for this video

[@CrystalGuidance]

My website has additional photos that will likely help. www.crystalguidance.com

[@adxrc5048]

Love the way you explain it. Thanks

[@OmenIesha]

Thank you 💙

[@nasherbuenafe5623]

Ty this is great 🙏

[@mozangel]

Is Larvikite the same as Indigo Gabbro?

[@CrystalGuidance]

No they are definitely different stones. I will add that to my list of future videos.

[@mozangel]

@@CrystalGuidance thank you! I would love to know the difference since they look so much alike.

[@sandeshpoojari5949]

Thank you😊

[@Deadly_Beauties_Jewelry]

What about Larvikite vs indigo gabbro?

[@CrystalGuidance]

Someone just asked this yesterday. They are different stones. I will shoot a Crystal comparison video for Larvikite and Indigo Gabbro and have it posted soon. Be sure to subscribe so that you know when it is posted. 😊

[@Deadly_Beauties_Jewelry]

@@CrystalGuidance thank you so much. I work at a metaphysical shop and I think the owners got doped cuz the indago gabbro they have has the Schiller

[@greenrosespirituality7489]

[@matthewgenerally7476]

[@saeeda9853]

[@CrystalGuidance]

You’re so welcome. 😊

[@richardsouffrant8442]

Mystic Merlinite and larvikite I consider them twins 2 sides of the same coin sane as labadorite and rainbow moonstone

[@grapeagatestone6854]

beautiful

[@CrystalGuidance]

Thank you! 😊

💜💜💜💜💜

[@Kristallklart_FengShui]

great thanks for this information

[@Gerard-oo8os]

I had an argument with a senior of mine since she was adamant that what she owns is a “black labradorite” and not larvikite. Since she trusts her source that it really is “black labradorite”. Lol

[@LeValLife]

Great video, very informative, thank you! My face twitched every time you mispronounced Labradorite though 😆

[@CrystalGuidance]

So then, according to you, how is it pronounced? webmineral.com/data/Labradorite.shtml#.X_Y94EjYrrd

[@LeValLife]

​@@CrystalGuidance Exactly as it's spelled. Lab-Ra-dor-ite. Like labrador with ite at the end. It's named after Labrador in Canada.

[@CrystalGuidance]

That is what I say. Thank you for verifying that I do say it correctly.

[@RoughStoneRollingLapidary]

Kammerite vs charoite!

[@CrystalGuidance]

I have added it to my list of videos to shoot!

[@katrussell6819]

Thank you. Now I know what I have. It is larvikite.

[@CrystalGuidance]

I am so glad that the video was able to help.
