TRACE & NARRATIVE / 痕跡與敘事
A proprietary name for labradorite from Finland that exhibits exceptionally strong play of colour. Discovered in 1940 during construction of a defensive line in southeastern Finland, in the middle of the Second World War.
Thin layers of feldspar within the stone interfere with light, producing a full spectral display. Labradorite occurs worldwide, but specimens showing the complete rainbow are concentrated in Finland's Ylämaa region.
A wartime accident of discovery gave one mineral its own proper noun. Beneath the feet of soldiers digging trenches, a rainbow.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION / 心理投射
Transformation — Intuition — Perception
The highest grade of labradorite, Finnish in origin. Full spectral colour emerges as the light shifts. It sharpens intuitive accuracy and strengthens the ability to read the structure beneath the surface.
SELECTOR'S NOTE / 選品手記
He doesn't stop at what's visible. Reading the structure beneath the surface is a reflex — is there another layer behind this one? That question, asked habitually and without effort, is a form of literacy most people don't develop. I chose this stone because it belongs near someone who has.
