The term "labradorite" is derived from the region of Labrador in Canada, where this type of stone was first identified in 1770 by Moravian missionaries. Labradorite continues to be extracted from this area to this day.

    Labradorite has been traditionally used as an amulet for protection against malevolent spirits and to safeguard the wearer from danger. It is also believed to bestow happiness, bravery, intuition, strength, and even the power of invisibility upon its possessor.

    Gemstone connoisseurs assert that Labradorite's colour shimmers akin to lightning. This otherworldly characteristic is particularly noticeable when the stone is shifted under a light source or in dimly illuminated spaces. Such an effect has been integrated into the meaning of Labradorite, with some holding the belief that it captures the essence of lightning. The stone's colour palette varies, encompassing shades from peacock blue to light blue, often interlaced with hues like pale green and gold.

    Charging and Cleansing

    Charging and cleansing labradorite is a crucial part of crystal maintenance. It's important to use a soft cloth when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface.

    Full Moon

    • Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

    Sun

    • While the sun can charge your stones very quickly, you will want to remove the stone from the sun after an hour or two as the sun could discolour your crystals (even those that are sun-safe). You can set your stone outside or on a windowsill to absorb the powerful energy from the heavens. The time you need to charge your crystals will vary, but they can often be ready in just a few minutes.

    Water

    • As long as your stone is not water soluble and is durable enough (3+ on Mohs hardness), you may be able to put it in a bowl of lukewarm water to cleanse and charge the stone. You will want to leave the stone in the water between 2-10 hours (leaving it overnight is a good way to do it). Dry stones with a soft cloth to avoid causing damage to them.

    Charging Stones

    • Placing your crystal on a Selenite wand, inside an Amethyst or Quartz geode, or placing it near other charging crystals (such as Carnelian) can safely charge any stone. While smaller stones could charge in a matter of minutes, it is a good idea to keep them with the charging stones for at least 24 hours. The cleansing stones will remove negative vibrations that your crystal may have absorbed.

    Smudging

    • Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.
