Labradorescence
Light caught inside the stone.
Labradorite is a feldspar mineral, loved for its labradorescence: a play of coloured reflections that comes from inside the stone. Light enters, strikes the twinning surfaces within and reflects back, and each twinning layer returns a different colour, so you see several at once.
The flash is usually blue and green, sometimes purple, yellow or orange, and it shimmers into a rainbow in the sun. It shows in only two directions and some parts of a stone have none, which is why each piece catches the light in its own way and a skilled stoneworker reads the rough before cutting.
First discovered on Paul Island near Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador, in eastern Canada, labradorite is also found in Australia, Finland, Madagascar, Mexico, Russia and the United States.

The stone of magic, protection and intuition.
In crystal tradition, labradorite is sometimes called the stone of transformation. It is thought to be good for intellect, intuition and inspiration, is sometimes said to hold the Northern Lights, and is believed to help you see the possibilities in life, which makes it a lovely crystal to keep around your home and spaces.
In new age spirituality it is connected with the Third Eye and Crown Chakra and used for awareness and for connecting with our higher selves and the divine.
Its origins in the northern hemisphere tie it to the magic of the night sky. Legend tells that the Aurora Borealis was trapped inside the rocks of Labrador, waiting there to be discovered amongst the Beothuk and the Inuit people.
Through the ages, crystals have been collected and prized for their beauty, their rich history and their potential spiritual and metaphysical properties. We love the idea that crystals may hold mystical properties, though nothing we sell comes with a mystical guarantee.

Sixty-odd little flashes of light.
Scatter them on your altar, fill a dish by the window or tuck a few into every pouch you own.
Good quality pieces. Good to make crystal grids and use for small bags for people to carry with them. I also have the carnelian and lapis and aventurine as well. A well rounded mix. Love to use them separately as well as together
