Labradorite – The Stone of Magic and the Northern Lights

This beautiful stone has captured the imaginations of many a generation of people around the world since its discovery in the late-18th century. Its spectrum of colours is so transfixing that it has been revered as the Stone of Magic and the physical form of the great Northern Lights in the rocks of the earth.

Labradorite displays an awe-inspiring range of colours both in its polished finish and in its natural rough state, cut straight from the earth. It is found in igneous rocks in multiple locations around the world, but it was discovered in eastern Canada on Paul Island, near the settlement of Nain in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Its origins in the northern hemisphere mean that Labradorite is inextricably linked to the magic of the night skies. Legend has it that one of the greatest natural shows on earth, the Aurora Borealis, were trapped inside the rocks of Labrador and lay awaiting discovery amongst the Inuit and Beothuk people.

One warrior is said to have tried to free the light with his spear, but the strength of the rocks was such that this beautiful spectrum of light was crystallized inside them forever more. Simply looking at Labradorite gemstones will imprint their magical powers on your mind - it truly is hard to resist the transfixing nature of this beautiful stone.

Many generations have embraced the powers of Labradorite to heal and bring good mental health to those who own it. With heavenly properties absorbed from the Northern Lights, Labradorite delivers the inner peace and tranquility that many of us need to deal with the stresses of everyday life.

Whether it's in rough form or gemstone form, the very presence of Labradorite is a good omen for your ability to anticipate troubles and strife before they arrive, so it has been held close by many people in Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and even further afield in Madagascar and Australia.

It's very similar toLabradorite, which often leads many people to mistake them for one another, but the key difference is in the sheer 'labradorescence' of Spectrolitegemstones. They are vividly colorful in an altogether different way to Labradorite, which makes both of them such popular stones in the world of jewellery today. Being used in necklaces braceletsrings and more.

You can findLabradorite deposits in pockets all over the world, but it is particularly prevalent in Nordic countries like Norway and Finland, as well as North American countries like the USA and Canada. Madagascar and Australia are also great sources of this beautiful gemstone, but it's the strong ties with the Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere that make this piece so magical.
