Meaning of Labradorite

Labradorite

Labradorite is a most spectacular Gemstone. It is mined in Canada and gets it’s name from Labrador where there is plenty. It shows an iridescence or play of colors, like the wings of tropical Butterflies.

Each movement to Gemstone brings out this optical phenomenon, and when the light hits the thin microscopic, semi-transparent layers of the Labradorite Gemstone, there is a phase shift.

Known as labradorescence, this phase shift causes numerous reflections that interfere with each other, making parallel bands of shimmering spectral color, usually blue flashes and greens flashes giving out a greenish blue hue.

According to a Canadian Eskimo legend, the Northern Lights were once trapped in the rocks along the coast of Labrador, and then a wandering Eskimo warrior found them and freed most of the lights with a mighty blow of his spear.

Some of the lights were still caught within the stone, however, and thus we have the beautiful mineral known as Labradorite.

Labradorite is credited with having the ability to bring out the positive in people and calm overactive minds, bringing peace to its wearer.

Labradorite is also thought to soothe menstrual problems, aid disorders of the lungs, prevent colds, help with digestion and regulate both metabolism and blood pressure.

Wearing Labradorite is thought to contribute to true and honest expression. Labradorite is said to facilitate communication between the spiritual and physical world, helping its wearer to recall dreams and experiences from past lives. It is therefore thought to help bring out psychic abilities.

It is thought to be a magical stone that possesses powerful protective properties and helps its wearer to find their true path in life. It is thought to “bring light” to the otherwise unknown, and thus provide its wearer with insight.

In traditional Hindu belief systems, Labradorite is associated with the throat chakra, or vishuddha, which is the centre of purification. The throat chakra is associated with hearing, speech and self-expression.
