About the stone

Labradorite is a feldspar mineral named after Labrador, Canada, where it was first identified in 1770. Its most distinctive feature is labradorescence — the iridescent flash of blue, gold, green, or violet that appears when the stone is turned in the light, caused by light interference within thin layers of the crystal structure.

In crystal tradition

In crystal tradition, labradorite is associated with the third eye and throat chakras, and is long-valued as a stone of transformation, intuition, and protection. The flashing iridescence — visible only at certain angles — is sometimes described as the stone's hidden quality, reflecting its association with intuition and inner sight. Often carried as a touchstone during periods of change.

Each piece is one of a kind. Natural variations in colour, shape, size, and pattern are part of what makes the stone what it is — the photograph shows a representative example, your piece will look slightly different.
