These are AA-grade Labradorite palm stones from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar. The stone's flash shifts as it turns in the hand, light interference from thin twinned layers inside the feldspar. Each palm stone runs 1.50-3 inches at Mohs 6-6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite manifestation stone for display shelves.
Labradorite looks like a plain gray stone until you turn it. Then the flash hits, blue, green, gold, sometimes a whole sheet of color that lights up and disappears again. The effect has its own name: labradorescence.
This piece comes from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar.
Labradorite was first described in Labrador, Canada in 1770, where Moravian missionaries found the flashing stones along the coast.
In crystal traditions, labradorite is often associated with listening to the quieter signals, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and clarifying what you actually want. It's traditionally linked to the third eye and crown chakras. If that resonates, set it in front of you during meditation or quiet reflection. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Labradorite sits at 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural labradorite from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar. Untreated.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1.5 to 3 inches on its longest side and weighs 50 to 100 medium.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
