Holistic Healing:
Traditionally used to connect two souls through the stars. Used when distanced from loved ones to keep connected. In folk tradition, associated with emotional balance and easing tension.

Regarded in crystal tradition as a soothing and protective stone. Enhances patience, clears the mind and is traditionally associated with heightened intuition.
 
Cool facts: Labradorite is an iridescent Feldspar mineral first found in Labrador Canada. Valued for its lustrous metallic reflections that are said to resemble a butterfly's wing, this play of colour or 'shiller' is aptly known as 'labradorescence'.
 
Inuit legend tells of a warrior who found the Northern Lights trapped in a rock on the Labrador coast and freed most of them with a blow of his spear — the light that stayed behind became Labradorite.
The blue or gold flash you see comes from thin, layered structures within the crystal — thinner layers scatter light into blue and violet tones, while thicker layers produce the warmer gold and green flashes.
