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.

Types Of Labradorite

Usually, Labradorite displays flashy blue and gold colours, however there are other Labradorite varieties that can be found. 

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 Labradorite which is prized for its pure, vibrant, purple flash.

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.

What Is Labradorite Used For?

Labradorite Crystal Healing Powers

Labradorite is believed to be a Stone of Transformation. Many crystal healers use it to help their clients cope with big changes in their lives, such as moving house or starting a new job.

For this reason, many people find it beneficial to keep a piece of Labradorite in their workplace.

Labradorite Gemstones are also used as an emotional balm, cutting stress levels with its calming qualities.

Labradorite Chakras And Labradorite Spirituality

Shamans and other people interested in the mystical realm have used this 'magic stone' to supplement their psychic powers for years.

Labradorite is most associated with the Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra.

When used as a Third Eye Chakra Crystal, Labradorite is said to help one find meaning, make good judgements, and see a path for their life.

When used as a Crown Chakra Crystal, Labradorite is said to intensify spirituality and to help access higher levels of consciousness.

This intensely spiritual stone is believed by crystal healers to help sleep problems: to heighten the meaning of dreams and lessen nightmares, much like Amethyst and Indigo Gabbro. 

How Hard Is Labradorite?

Measuring 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, Labradorite is a relatively durable and hard mineral, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface.

To clean the crystal, simply use water and a soft cloth.
