Larvikite bead strands featuring the distinctive blue-grey schiller effect this stone is known for. Shop wholesale natural stone beads online.
Larvikite is a coarse-grained igneous stone, mined primarily in Norway, prized for the labradorescence, a flash of blue or silver, that appears across its feldspar crystals as light catches the surface. Often sold under the name “blue pearl granite,” it has a darker, more mineral-flecked look than labradorite, making it a distinctive choice for makers wanting a grounded, earthy stone with visible shimmer rather than bright colour. Bellaire Wholesale stocks larvikite bead strands suited to bracelets and necklaces where that schiller effect is the design’s focal point.
Pair larvikite with findings and other strands from the natural stones collection to build out a finished piece.
