Stone 101
A grey stone that flashes blue and gold when you tilt it. Named after Labrador.
Plain grey until the light hits it, then it lights up like a beetle's wing. Here you'll find bracelets, spheres, rings, pendulums, raw chunks and big polished pieces.

The basics
Labradorite is a feldspar, one of the most common mineral groups on Earth. It was first described in 1770 near Nain, on the coast of Labrador.
The flash is called labradorescence. Thin layers inside the stone bounce light around, and certain colours win. Tilt it slowly and watch the colour slide across.

Straight talk
Natural labradorite always has some grey or dark patches, and the flash only shows from certain angles. Our labradorite is natural, and if a piece were ever treated or man-made, the title would say so.

Good questions
It's traditionally linked with intuition, change and protection. Most people just pick it because the flash makes them smile. That's a fine reason.
It's named after Labrador, where it was first described. Today a lot of it also comes from Madagascar and Finland.
A quick rinse is fine. Dry it right after and don't leave it soaking. For a traditional cleanse, try smoke or a night on selenite.
Turn it slowly under a single light. The flash only shows from certain angles, so some sides look plain grey. That's normal, and a good sign it's the real thing.
