Labradorite

About this stone

Labradorite is a feldspar that flashes blue, green, and gold under shifted light — a quality miners call labradorescence. Inuit legend holds that the aurora was once trapped inside the rock. Astrologically it has been adopted as a Uranus-and-Moon stone: it protects an empathic Moon from absorbing a partner's storm, while keeping intuition awake to the truth underneath.
