Appearances & Origins
Labradorite, also known as ‘The Stone of Transformation’, is named after the region of Labrador Peninsula in Canada, where it was first discovered in 1770. This particular crystal is such a popular stone for the home because of its labradorescence which presents in all colours just like a peacock! Its colour can range from brilliant turquoises and blues to purples and deep golds. Its lustrous metallic reflections are also known as ‘flash’ and are said to resemble the Northern Lights.
Native Inuit tribes of North America claim the first Labradorite fell from the Aurora Borealis from the fire of their ancestors. Another legend describes a brave Inuit warrior who struck Labradorite with his spear and created the Northern Lights.
Be aware that Labradorite is generally mostly a dark and moody stone in shades of charcoal, grey and brown. When the light hits it at the right angle it will reveal its stunning flashes of peacock.
