A dark grey stone, polished on one side, that lights up with electric blue flashes, sometimes golden or green, when you tilt it towards the light. The flash varies from piece to piece.
Each piece is unique: it is picked by hand from the batch, and its flash, shape and shade vary slightly from one stone to another. Choose your size above.
About this stone
A variety of feldspar (plagioclase) that shows “labradorescence”: a play of metallic colours caused by fine internal lamellae that reflect the light.
These stones come from Madagascar, one of the major deposits of high-quality labradorite.

How to use it
Slip one or two stones into a pocket or bag, hold one in your hand during a quiet moment, arrange them in a bowl on a desk or shelf, or lay out a small crystal grid on an altar. A set is also easy to share: one stone for yourself, the others to give as gifts.
Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth, or rinse in clear lukewarm water then dry carefully. Avoid household products, knocks and strong heat. Tilt it in the light: the flash dims when the stone is dirty.
Nature of the stone and photos
A natural stone is unique: its colour, veining, inclusions and size vary from one piece to another. The photos are a guide only.
Some commercially sold stones are heated, dyed or stabilised with resin. Where this is the case, it is stated on the product page. If in doubt, write to us before buying.
