Labradorite Slice

This is an example of a Labradorite Slice. It flashes small dots of blue and rainbows of others colours.

Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance as it balances and protects the aura. I intuit it to help those ready to raise their consciousness. And it grounds this increase in spiritual energies that they have developed. Use this slice to strengthen intuition and promote psychic abilities.

It is discounted as it doesn’t have strong colours like other pieces. Combine it with a stand for a table or use as a coaster. And if you aren’t into healing help, it is a very cool crystal to have anyway with all that colour. The mystery of Nature impresses once again.

Special Notes

• One version of moonstone is actually white labradorite.
• Spectrolite is considered "A" grade Labradorite and comes from Finland where the blacker feldspar displats the rainbow of colours better than that from Madagascar.
• Named from where it was found originally - Labrador, Canada but found in other locations.
• It's unusual properties coined the termed "labradorescence".
• Its use is in jewellery and decorative objects.
• Yellow Labradorite looks like Citrine with no labradorescence.
  • Mineralogically it is called Bytownite although some say they are different however I cannot find any reference to golden labradorite in mineralogy databases.
• If Ca is zero it is albite or bytownite. If it is no Na it is anorthite.
  • Labradorite also usually has both in its makeup.
