Labradorite was the first stone that wowed me. I remember catching a flash of electric blue as I turned it in my hand, and it felt like it was alive. Since then, I keep a piece near me whenever I’m writing or dreaming up new ideas, it opens doors I didn’t know were there.

What is Labradorite? Labradorite is a feldspar mineral most famous for its stunning iridescence known as labradorescence—a shimmering play of color that can reveal flashes of blue, green, gold, and even purple depending on the angle. Its base color ranges from smoky gray to charcoal, but when the light hits just right, it glows like a northern sky.  

Historical Significance First discovered in Labrador, Canada, by missionaries in the 1700s, Labradorite quickly earned a reputation for its mystical beauty.  

  • Inuit legend tells that the Northern Lights were once trapped in the stone. 
  • Used by shamans and mystics for its visionary properties. 
  • Also found in Madagascar, Finland (as Spectrolite), and Russia. 

Metaphysical Energy Labradorite is a high-vibration crystal aligned with the Third Eye and Crown chakras, helping to:  

  • Awaken inner vision and intuition 
  • Shield the aura from negative energy 
  • Support transformation and self-discovery 
  • Enhance synchronicity and spiritual awareness
