Labradorite
In
this
issue
I
bring
you
one
of
my
other
treasured crystal “ Labradorite”, Its ability to give
emotional stability is really uncanny.
It is a member of the Feldspar family and is treasured
for
its
remarkable
play
of
color,
known
as
labradorescence. This stone, usually gray-green, dark
gray, black or grayish-white, is composed in aggregate
layers that refract light as iridescent flashes of peacock
blue, gold, pale green, or coppery red.
The predominant blue varies within the light, displaying
hues from deepest blue to various shades of pale,
almost blue-green.
It was discovered in Labrador, Canada, by Moravian
missionaries in 1770 who named it for the area.
It is, however, referenced in legends by older Inuit
