Labradorite: The Magic and Metaphysical Guide

Come and take a journey with me and find out all you need to know about this mystical Crystal, Labradorite.

Labradorite was first discovered in abundance in 1770 by missionaries in Labrador, Canada. Paul Island was the site of this discovery. It’s gone on to become one of the world’s most interesting source locations of this particular gemstone.

The local Inuit people were already familiar with the stone, using it in various tools and ornamental figures. However, it was the Moravian missionaries who first documented and named the mineral, recognising its unique and beautiful iridescence. The name “Labradorite” is derived from the Labrador region, cementing its connection to this rugged and remote area.

Labradorescence

The iridescent property of labradorite is a result from light diffracting off closely spaced layers of calcium and sodium rich feldspar and is called labradorescence. As the stone is moved in natural sunlight the stone flashes of blue, green, yellow, and purple which are visible across properly oriented surfaces.

It may come as a surprise but the varied colours displayed in a high quality Labradorite are not really present in the gemstone or a result of mineral impurities.

Labradorite is made up of thin layers of different minerals and as light travels through these layers it breaks up the white light into all the colours of the rainbow which then bounce back, get deflected, get absorbed and flash before our eyes.

Labradorite Metaphysical Properties

Use Labradorite in meditation to allow you to go deeper and really connect with universal healing energies. Labradorite is a purifying stone that connects you with the energy of light. Labradorite is considered by mystics to be a form of transformation and magic.

These stones may offer you some guidance, into your destiny. Attract some form, of success, whether it is in fortune, happiness, health and relationships. Balance your energy by sealing your aura to prevent any energy leaks and helping you accumulate positive energy to improve your wellbeing.
