The stone the northern lights left behind

Labradorite was first discovered on the rocky shores of Labrador, Canada, by the Inuit. According to their legend, the northern lights had once been trapped inside the stone, and a brave warrior had freed most of them with his spear. But not all of them. Some of the aurora stayed behind, frozen inside the rock. Anyone who has ever held a piece of labradorite up to the light, watched it flash blue, green, gold, copper, and back again, knows the legend is not really a legend.

The energetic and spiritual meaning of labradorite

Labradorite is widely known as a stone of transformation, magic, and inner light. It is said to support intuition, lucid dreaming, and the soft threshold between worlds. It has long been called the stone of magicians, mystics, and seers, because it helps the wearer trust what she sees that others cannot. It is also a strong protective stone, said to form a soft shield around the aura that lets you stay open without being depleted.

The chakra connection

Labradorite works on the throat chakra, the third eye chakra, and the crown chakra. The throat (Vishuddha) is the seat of expression. The third eye (Ajna) is the seat of intuition and inner sight. The crown (Sahasrara) sits at the top of the head and connects you to the higher self, source, the divine, whatever language fits your spiritual life. Labradorite activates this upper trio together, which is why it feels especially supportive during seasons when you are receiving guidance, dreaming vividly, or sensing things you cannot yet explain. For the woman who is starting to trust her own knowing, this stone holds all three doors open at once.

How labradorite supports the woman in her power

Labradorite is for the woman who suspects there is more to her than she has been showing, and who is ready to let some of it out. It is for the seasons of transition: leaving a job, ending a relationship, starting something that scares you, becoming a mother, becoming yourself. It is also for the woman who has been told she is too much, too sensitive, too intuitive, too odd. Labradorite tends to remind her that none of that was a problem. It was always the gift.

How it tends to feel when you wear it

Women who wear labradorite often describe a quieting of self-doubt. A remembering of their own depth. It is a stone that returns you to yourself, especially in moments when you have been making yourself small to fit somewhere you have outgrown. Each labradorite is its own. Even two stones cut from the same chunk catch the light in their own way. Most women say the same thing when they pick one out. They just felt drawn to that one. Trust that.

How to wear labradorite

Wear it close to your throat or heart, where the upper energy centers sit. Wear it on your wrist as a small daily reminder. Wear it in moments of change, when you are starting or ending something.

How to care for your labradorite

Labradorite is reasonably durable, around 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, but the flash and the surface are easily dulled by harsh substances. Take it off before showering, swimming, or applying lotion and perfume. Store in a soft pouch, away from harder stones. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals; they damage the iridescence.
