The Mystique of Lodalite Gemstone Beads
Origins: A Geological Journey
Lodalite is a relatively rare, man-made mineral consisting of Labradorite and Chlorite. It was first discovered in the 1950s at the town of Loda, Illinois, from which it derives its name. This enigmatic stone is formed through the cooling and crystallization of molten rock called norite, rich in plagioclase feldspar, olivine, and pyroxene minerals.
