What labradorite is. Labradorite is a plagioclase feldspar, gray to gray-green at rest. Its flashes of blue, green and gold, called labradorescence, come from thin layers inside the stone that bounce light back, so every piece shows its own colors. It is named after Labrador, in Canada, and Finland's rainbow variety is known as spectrolite. An Inuit legend says the northern lights were once trapped in its rocks.
How to wear it. A pendant shows the flash best, because the stone faces out and catches the light as you move. Choose a chain that lets it rest at the collarbone or just below, against the skin. In one common tradition the left side receives and the right side gives, so people who wear labradorite as a protection symbol often keep it on the left.
Real vs fake. Tilt the stone under a single lamp. Real labradorite flashes at one angle, fades to gray at others and shows fine lines inside. Glass that glows the same from every angle is often opalite, and "black labradorite" is usually larvikite, a different rock. The labradorite meaning guide walks through five simple checks.
Care. At 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, labradorite is softer than quartz and can chip, so store it in its own pouch and take it off for sport or housework. A quick wipe with a soft cloth is enough; skip soaking and salt. For gentle rituals such as smoke, sound or moonlight, see how to cleanse crystals.
