Labradorite, is a mesmerising gemstone renowned for its iridescent play of colours or "labradorescence", a result of light interference within the mineral's crystal structure. It derives its name from the Canadian region of Labrador, where it was first discovered in the late 18th century. 

The native Inuit believed it to be the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis, imbued with mystical properties. Labradorite was often used in ceremonial objects and amulets, believed to provide protection and enhance spiritual connection.

Labradorite is often associated with enhancing intuition and psychic abilities. Many people believe that wearing or meditating with Labradorite can help to awaken and strengthen one's intuition, enabling them to trust their inner wisdom and make decisions with greater clarity. The stone's iridescent play of colours is said to stimulate the Third Eye chakra, which is associated with intuition and insight in many spiritual traditions.

Labradorite is also believed to have protective qualities, shielding the wearer from negative energies while opening them up to higher realms of consciousness. It is often used by those seeking to deepen their spiritual practice or connect more deeply with the spiritual dimensions of life.

The stone's colours range from blue and green to gold and orange, with flashes of other hues appearing when viewed from different angles.

Labradorite deposits are not limited to Canada, Finland, Madagascar, Russia, and Australia.
