With its mesmerising iridescence, Labradorite is a gem that holds a wealth of mystique and enchantment. Named after the Labrador Peninsula in Canada where it was first discovered in the late 1700’s, this captivating stone has been revered for centuries. This gem is also known as the “Temple of the Stars” by the indigenous Inuit people believing it to be from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis.

Labradorescence, the iridescence found in Labradorite, is created through a process called diffraction. This occurs as light waves interact with the distinct layers of various feldspar minerals within the stone, causing the light to scatter and interfere. These interactions lead to the separation of the visible spectrum into vibrant colours. As Labradorite is moved or observed from different angles, the colours shift, creating a dynamic and enchanting visual effect.

The Spiritual Vibes

Throughout history, Labradorite has been valued as a powerful tool for awakening one’s inner magic and intuitive abilities. Its iridescent flashes are thought to reveal hidden truths and unveil the unseen realms. This stone acts as a protective barrier, shielding the aura from negative energies and promoting a sense of balance and harmony.

Labradorite resonates deeply with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, making it a conduit for heightened intuition and spiritual insights. It aligns with the watery energies of the Moon, inviting you to explore the depths of your subconscious and connect with the divine feminine energy.

Labradorite's Favourite Pairing Crystals

To amplify Labradorite’s mystical energies, pair it with Amethyst for enhanced spiritual connection, Black Tourmaline for grounding, and Moonstone for a deeper exploration of intuition. Incorporate Labradorite into meditation practices to access higher states of consciousness and communicate with your spirit guides using the affirmation: “I embrace the magic within and trust in my intuitive wisdom.”

Embrace the enchanting allure of Labradorite as you delve into the realms of inner magic and spiritual exploration. Allow its iridescent dance of colours to guide you on a journey of transformation and self-discovery.
