Labradorite

Labradorite is a stunning feldspar mineral prized for its iridescent play of colors known as labradorescence. When light hits the stone, it flashes brilliant hues of blue, green, gold, and sometimes purple or orange, seeming to shift as the stone moves.

✨ Key Features:

Color: Usually gray to dark green base, with flashes of spectral colors.

Labradorescence: Caused by light scattering within microscopic layers of the mineral.

Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale.

Origin: Common sources include Canada, Madagascar, Finland, and Russia.

💎 Metaphysical Associations:

Thought to be a stone of transformation and protection, enhancing intuition, creativity, and spiritual awareness.

Often used to balance and strengthen the aura.

🔨 In Jewelry:

Popular in cabochons, pendants, and wire-wrapped pieces because the polished surface best shows off the flashes of color.

Works beautifully as a statement gemstone due to its mystical glow.
