The name “labradore” comes from the French word for Labrador where this type of rock was first discovered in 1770 by Morava missionaries in Canada. To this day Labradorite is mined there.

Labradorite has long been used as an amulet to ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer from harm. It was also thought to bring happiness, courage, intuition, strength, and even invisibility to those who possess it.

Gemstone experts believe that the colour of Labradorite flickers like lightning. This ethereal quality is especially apparent when the stone is moved under light or dimly lit areas. This has become a part of the labradorite meaning, as some believe that lightning is reflected in the stone. The colours involved in the stone can range from peacock blue to light-blue crystals with other colours mixed in (such as pale green and gold).
