Labradorite

Labradorite is a plagioclase feldspar rock, rich in sodium and classified under the Anorthosite mineral group. Even the play of color in the stone is called labradorescence, which shows yellow, green, orange, pink, red, or purple flashes. 

Some Labradorite crystals also boast a metallic sheen.

Although it was discovered at the end of the 18th century by Moravian missionaries in Labrador, Canada, Labradorite was used by many ancient civilizations. 

According to Inuit legends, Labrador Coast was once filled with trapped Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. The legend says an ancient warrior speared the coast to create Labradorite. 

Traditionally, it’s a stone of power that repels evil.

Did you know Labradorite usually forms from molten magma deep within the earth? It takes millions of years to crystallize and form layers that create the flashes we love about Labradorite.

Most Labradorites open the Third Eye Chakra, sometimes with the Throat Chakra. These chakras instill intuition, wisdom, clarity, creativity, and divination. 

Labradorite’s multicolor flashes, like red, orange, pink, and yellow, open the lower chakras. 

Other hues, like white, green, pink, yellow, orange, and red, open the Crown, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Root Chakras, bringing balance. It also opens the secondary chakra of Lunar or Bindu, responsible for psychic abilities. 

The Aurora Borealis stone is ruled by the Water element and stands for patience, renewal, emotional balance, and foresight. It’s connected to the Moon and Uranus planetary bodies in Astrology. Moon brings wisdom and Uranus innovation.

Labradorite benefits also come from Sedna, the Inuit Mother of Sea; Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Magic; Ganesh, the Hindu God of Prosperity; Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction; Morrigan, the Irish Goddess of Prophecy; Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon, and Isis, the Egyptian Goddess of the Afterlife. 

Norse mythologies say Labradorite stands for Loki, the God of mischief and cunning. 

Finally, Labradorite vibrates to the numerical vibration of 6, representing peace, strength, and balance in Labradorite.
