Labardorite Gemmology Facts:

Labradorite is a Feldspar Mineral. It demonstrates the phenomena of Labradorscence, which exhibits flashes of blue, green, red, purple, orange and yellow. Now Labradorscence isn’t a display of colours – it is an interaction with light. When light enters the Stone, it strikes the twinning surface. The flash of colour/colours you see is the light being reflected from the twinning surface. Different surfaces will give different colours.

The flash or Labradorescence only occurs in two directions, so it takes a skilled Cutter to assess the rough material, retain maximum beauty, and minimise weight loss. Here at Chalmers Gems, we like to provide top-quality Labradorite, and the cutters we use are experts in cutting Labradorite.

Spectrolite is Labradorite’s sister, which has an extremely fine structure giving it this exceptional flash. It is much rarer and therefore more expensive. Spectrolite has a very intense dark colour and demonstrates some of the best Labradorescence in the world. Spectrolite is found in Finland.

Labradorite is found worldwide. Originally it was first located in Labrador, Canada, in the late 1700s, hence its name. It is now found worldwide. The majority of Chalmers Gems Labradorite comes from Madagascar.

A unique characteristic of Labradorite is that it can be found in varying sizes with excellent Labradorescence, from small pieces that can be cut into tiny Beads bursting with flashes to large pieces with vast areas for Labradorescence.

Crystal Healing Properties: what is Labradorite good for?

The Inuit people believe Labradorite to be capable of communicating between the earthly and spiritual realms and hosts a wonderful amplifying energy – which is probably why it’s able to amplify communication energies.

Talk of higher planes is often associated with Labradorite as, through the ages, it is deemed to possess magical qualities. Some of these help us with deeper meaning, communication and understanding, whilst some help us with more emotional traits such as tempering our reckless or impulsive behaviour. On the other hand, Labradorite encourages our emotional armour against negativity, so if you are around negative people or situations, simply reach for your Labradorite.

Wearing or carrying Labradorite allows one’s natural magical abilities to manifest. It improves mental and intuitive abilities such as clairvoyance, telepathy, prophecy, and coincidence control, as well as communication with higher guides and spirits in Akashic records, psychic readings, and past-life recall. It facilitates travel between worlds and allows for a safe and grounded return to the present.

Labradorite, as a workplace Stone, brings out the best in people, making work life more pleasant. It promotes courtesy and full attention to the customer while assisting part-time and temporary employees in fully integrating into a company.

The Elephant is native to Africa and Asia, where they hold special significance. The Hindu god Ganesha is thought to be an obstacle remover. He is the god of beginnings, and people worship him before embarking on any major project in their lives. The Elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom in China. Buddha is frequently depicted as an Elephant, and his mother is said to have dreamed of an Elephant before his birth. Elephants are revered as reincarnated leaders by the Ashanti people.
