What Is Labradorite Made Of? 

Labradorite is a mineral of the plagioclase feldspar group, and this beautiful crystal consists of both albite and anorthite.

Similar feldspars include Sunstone, Moonstone, and Amazonite.

What Makes Labradorite Special?

Labradoresence, otherwise known as the Schiller effect, is Labradorite’s famous property. When exposed to light, the gem becomes a shimmering tapestry of colour.

Luminous blues, purples and greens sparkle and dance due to the refraction of light between the crystal’s many layers.

Golden hues, among other shades from the whole spectrum of colour, combine to create a glistening wonder unparalleled by any other crystal.

This iridescence is truly a marvel to behold.

Other Labradorite Types

Blue Labradorite showcases luminous blue flash, whilst Gold Labradorite demonstrates striking gold flash. 

Spectrolite is a name given to Labradorite specimens which display a broader spectrum of rich, intense colours. It was originally mined in Finland. 

Purple Labradorite is a lovely variety of purple-coloured Labradorite which is prized for its pure, vibrant, purple flash as a purple gemstone. 

Rainbow Moonstone, otherwise referred to as White Labradorite, demonstrates a gorgeous silky-white background with flashes of blue iridescence. 

Where Do You Find Labradorite? 

Labradorite is most famously found in Canada, for it was named after the Canadian town of Labrador.

This unique stone is also found in Madagascar, where we carefully select our high grade Labradorite pieces from the best of the best.

Labradorite History

The natives of Paul's Island off the coast of Labrador have recounted a legend surrounding the origin of the Labradorescence phenomenon for centuries.

They tell the story of a legendary Inuit warrior who discovered that the Aurora Borealis had been stolen from the sky and imprisoned in the Labradorite gem.

Legend says that he smashed the stone with his spear, returning the Northern Lights to their home, but some light remained eternally encased in the crystal: this is how the phenomenon of Labradoresence came to be.
