THE QUARRY

It is the newest labradorite quarry of Ukraine nowadays. Development and opening work at the quarry has been completed only in early 2016. Today, there is a highly professional team working at this quarry with their most up-to-date equipment. The color of the stone mined at this quarry is a true luxury – pure black background and intense, deep blue iridescence. Our company was the first to buy the quarry’s first imported block number 82 in May 2016.

Since 2016 till January 2018 we exported from Ukraine to our stock in China around 750m3 of Blue Eyes labradrite. Below you will find video from the quarry and one of the blocks selection process, which we captured in November 2017.

The quarry has been developed from the scratch, as mining work had never been performed before in the radius of up to 10 miles around that area. Thus, the problem of cracks is minimal in this material. Vast majority of other labradorite quarries around Ukraine had been severely damaged by mining explosives that had been widely used in mining work since Soviet Union times.

BLOCKS OF BLUE EYES (old VOLGA BLUE)

Since cooperation beginning in 2016 we select blocks on the quarry in Ukraine on regular basis (almost every month). Below is the video we captured in November 2018 and some pics which represent the blocks quality in general.

We double check each block of Blue Eyes both, in Ukraine and China, to make sure it’s the best quality.

ADVANTAGES

Before listing all advantages and disadvantages of our material, we would like to once again dispel the myths that there is only one quarry of Volga Blue in the whole world and that all Ukrainian labradorites are the same Volga Blue from one big quarry. Dozens of quarries with completely different features and textures are scattered around the region at considerably large distance from one another. Our company experienced working with pretty much each and every one of them. Nowadays we cooperate with only 3 best quarries.

FEATURES OF BLUE EYES LABRADORITE SUPPLIED BY PAGODA-BUILD:

1. 1. Color. About 80% of Ukrainian labradorite blocks aimed for export have very little common with classical Volga Blue. That stone has greenish background, with iridescence dominated in yellowish and green colors. A few years ago we named that stone Volga Classic. Objectively speaking, that stone has a lot of external disadvantages compared to Volga Blue that has a deep black main color with bright blue iridescence. Besides our quarry, there is only one quarry supplying classical Volga Blue nowadays, however, that quarry has serious problems of corrosion, which we will touch in detail later.
2. 2. The guarantee of no rust. Many Ukrainian labradorites (especially the competitor’s quarry of Volga) contain large amounts of iron, which after certain amount of time turns rusty due to contact with humidity, especially when the stone is used outdoors. Our BLUE EYES contains minimal amounts of iron, thus the problem of rust is eliminated.
3. 3. Better polishing and resin processing. What makes this stone truly beautiful and exceptional is a quality processing, especially polishing and resin application. We use high quality imported bi-component epoxy-based resin which was selected specifically for this stone, and then we polish the stone on automated line. Many other manufacturers, especially those based in Ukraine, do not have neither this knowledge base nor the technological facilities to do this level of processing
4. 4. Minimum of microcracks.
