Labradorite: Stone of Transformation & Magic

Watch labradorite catch the light and you'll see why it's called the Stone of Magic. Its rainbow flash seems to hold mysteries waiting to be revealed.

Labradorite: Stone of Transformation & Magic

The Flash of Magic

Labradorite is best known for its stunning labradorescence—a phenomenon where the stone displays a spectacular play of colors, usually blue and green, but sometimes orange, yellow, or purple. It's like having a piece of the Northern Lights in your hands.

The Inuit Legend

According to Inuit legend, the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador (where the stone was first identified). A warrior tried to free them with his spear, releasing most of the lights into the sky. But some remained trapped in the stone—which is why labradorite still shimmers with their colors.
