It is quite simply a stunning stone!
Labradorite is named for the peninsula of Labrador in Canada, where it was originally found.
A member of the feldspar family, Labradorite is a beautiful gemstone that ranges in color from dark gray to gray-black with colorful iridescence or labradorescence.
These lustrous metallic tints, known as schillers, are most often blue and green.
The schiller effect results from the lamellar (layered) structure of this feldspar, light enters the stone and is refracted back and forth between layers.
Labradorite is said to act as a shield of protection to those who wear it.
Labradorite beads and stones are thought to detoxify the body and promote self-transformation.
Since Labradorite has internal layers, it is susceptible to breakage if struck too hard or enough pressure is applied.
For this reason, a lot of designers tend to use Labradorite in earring and necklace designs over bracelets and rings to help avoid direct blows.
When cleaning Labradorite, the best method is to use gentle soap and water with an untreated cloth.
It is not recommended to use ultrasonic, steam or boiling methods to clean Labradorite.
Store Labradorite in a soft cloth to avoid surface scratches caused by harder materials.
