History

Labradorite, is named after the the region of Labrador Peninsula in Canada, where it was first discovered in 1770.

Native Inuit tribes of North America claim the first Labradorite fell from the Aurora Borealis from the fire of their ancestors. Another legend describes a brave Inuit warrior who struck Labradorite with his spear and created the Northern Lights.

Labradorite was discovered again in the 1940s, this time in Finland. These Finnish specimens displayed the entire colour spectrum described above and were rightfully called Spectrolite.

Appearance

Labradorite is most commonly adored for its display of spectral colour sometimes referred to as Labradoresence. This stone is generally mostly a dark and moody stone in shades of charcoal, grey and brown, but when the light hits it at the right angle it will reveal it’s stunning flashes of peacock.This breath-taking flash of colours include green, gold, purple, orange, red, and blue.

As this is a feldspar mineral, it is made up of layers within the stone that refract or reflect the light, which attributes to its labradorescent properties. This flash of colours reminds one of the Northern Lights.
