These are AA-grade Labradorite raw stones from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. Twinned layers inside this feldspar scatter light into shifting blue, green, and gold flash. Each piece runs 0.50-1 inches at Mohs 6-6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite intuition stone for crystal grids.
Labradorite looks like a plain grey 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.
Labradorite was first described in Labrador, Canada in 1770, where Moravian missionaries found the flashing stones along the coast.
Our raw pieces are sourced from Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar.
Labradorite has long been used in practices around 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, place one on a nightstand or on an altar where you sit. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
