Labradorite

Labradorite – The Mystical Stone of Northern Lights

Labradorite, the most enchanting variety of feldspar, mesmerizes with its ethereal play-of-color – flashing vibrant blues, greens, and golds that shift like the aurora borealis, a phenomenon called labradorescence caused by light refracting through its unique layered structure. First discovered in Labrador, Canada by Moravian missionaries in 1770, this captivating gem has been treasured by Inuit peoples as "fire stone" and revered in metaphysical traditions for its protective energy and ability to enhance intuition. With its durable hardness (Mohs 6-6.5) and completely natural, untreated optical effects that make each stone a one-of-a-kind wonder, labradorite has become a favorite among designers and collectors seeking jewelry pieces that combine otherworldly beauty with grounding spiritual properties, perfect for those who appreciate nature's most magical light shows captured in gemstone form.
