Labradorite Origins & Background
Labradorite is a visually striking feldspar mineral best known for its vivid flashes of color—an optical effect often referred to as labradorescence. These flashes may appear as blues, greens, golds, oranges, and even purples, seeming to move across the surface as the stone is viewed from different angles.
The stone was first identified in Labrador, Canada, from which it takes its name. Today, notable sources include Canada, Madagascar, Finland, Russia, and parts of Australia. Each locality produces Labradorite with its own characteristic color range and intensity.
Throughout history, Labradorite has been associated with transformation, protection, and hidden potential—qualities reflected in the way its inner fire reveals itself only when viewed from the right angle.
Labradorite Geological Information
Labradorite is a calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar that forms in igneous rocks such as gabbro, basalt, and anorthosite. The famous labradorescence effect is caused by light interference within microscopic lamellar structures inside the crystal.
These internal layers reflect and refract light, producing the shimmering color play that makes Labradorite so distinctive. Without this internal structure, the stone may appear grey or dark on the surface despite its hidden brilliance.

Labradorite Crystal Care & Ownership Advice
⚠️ Handling:
Labradorite has good durability but can cleave if struck. Handle with care, especially polished edges.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking. Dry thoroughly.

Light-stable, though prolonged direct sunlight may dull surface polish over time.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded or separately to avoid scratches. Display where light can interact with the surface to reveal its full color play.
