About Labradorite
Labradorite is a mesmerising feldspar mineral renowned for its extraordinary labradorescence — a stunning optical phenomenon that produces iridescent flashes of blue, green, gold, and orange when light hits the stone at different angles. Named after the Labrador peninsula in Canada where it was first discovered in the 18th century, this stone is also found in Finland, Madagascar, and Russia. The Finnish variety, known as Spectrolite, displays the most vivid and complete spectrum of colours. In Inuit legend, labradorite was said to contain the Northern Lights, trapped within the rocks along the Labrador coast. In spiritual traditions, labradorite is considered a powerful guardian against energy leaks and is used extensively in aura healing. At Reiki Heal, labradorite is our go-to stone for transformation and psychic protection, particularly during periods of change and spiritual awakening. It resonates powerfully with the Third Eye and Crown chakras, unlocking hidden truths, enhancing psychic abilities, and bridging the gap between the visible and invisible worlds.

Real labradorite displays vivid, multi-coloured flashes (blue, green, gold) when rotated in light. Fake labradorite may have a uniform appearance or painted-on colours. Real labradorite will also feel cool to the touch and has a glassy to pearly lustre on fracture surfaces.
Labradorite activates the Third Eye and Crown chakras. The Third Eye governs intuition, insight, and psychic perception, while the Crown connects you to divine consciousness. Together they create a powerful channel for spiritual wisdom and inner knowing.
