About Labradorite
Labradorite's hidden flashes of colour appear only at the right angle — making it the stone of transformation, magic and in-between states.
Strongly associated with change and liminal/threshold states.
History & folklore
Labradorite was found in Labrador, Canada in 1770. Inuit legend says the Northern Lights were once trapped in the rocks along the coast, until a warrior freed most of them with his spear — the rest remain in labradorite.
