LABRADORITE

Labradorite crystal gets its name from the town of Labrador, Canada, where the stone was discovered. It only takes one look at Labradorite’s flashy iridescence to understand where the many native legends about this stone come from.

According to native Canadian tribal lore, Labradorite is said to contain the Northern Lights, known as the Aurora Borealis. In the myth, it is believed that the lights were “set free” by one of their ancestors who broke through the rocks with his spear. The lights that remained were set into stone, and thus Labradorite was born. 

Labradorite’s most renowned quality is known as labradorescence. This is the iridescent flashes of light within the stone that makes the stone transform from a blueish grey to a show of neon illuminations in light. 

Although at some angles this stone can look quite grey and dreary, when you catch the spectacular flash your whole perspective shifts and you can finally see the light within the darkness. The stone helps you adopt a similar perspective on life
