About Labradorite
Labradorite is twilight trapped in stone, a feldspar mineral whose grey base ignites with flashes of blue, green and gold, an effect known as labradorescence. This play of colour occurs when light bends and reflects off microscopic layers within the crystal, creating sheets of auroras like the Northern Lights captured in rock. Labradorite formed in igneous rocks like gabbro and basalt, cooling slowly so that the iridescent lamellae could arrange themselves perfectly. It encourages magic and transformation, reminding you that beneath a calm exterior lies a universe of hidden colours and untapped potential.

Colors
Mohs Hardness
Labradorite, a plagioclase feldspar, typically rates about 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale (general feldspar hardness).
Handling: It is moderately hard but can cleave along layers. Protect it from sharp blows and extreme heat.
Origins
- Canada
- Finland
- Madagascar
- Russia
How to Use
Labradorite is durable yet fragile along its cleavage. Keep it dry, avoid chemicals, and protect its iridescent surfaces.
- Avoid dropping or striking; labradorite can cleave along planes
- Do not expose to strong acids or alkalis which can dull the surface
- Safe for brief water cleansing; dry thoroughly
- Store away from direct sunlight to preserve labradorescence
Care & Cleansing
Brief WaterRecommended
Purifies without contact or moisture
Brief rinse refreshes; dry immediately
Gentle lunar energy recharges and deepens iridescence
Short exposure energises; long exposure can dull colours
Avoid
Acids and alkalis can etch feldspar
Storage
Store Labradorite wrapped in soft cloth away from heavy objects and direct heat.
Safety
Cleavage Splitting
mediumLabradorite can split along lamellae if struck. Handle with care.
Surface Dulling
mediumStrong acids and alkalis can dull labradorite’s sheen. Clean with mild soap and water only.
Labradorite is safe for external use and should not be ingested or used in elixirs. Fine shards may form if it breaks along cleavage planes.
