LABRADORITE — Iridescent Feldspar & Symbols of Change
Ancient Lore & Geological History 🌙
Labradorite is named for Labrador, Canada. Some Finnish material is sold under the trade name Spectrolite.
Cultural & Metaphysical Properties ✦
In modern crystal traditions, Labradorite symbolizes transformation, intuition, and protection. Tilting a polished piece toward the light can provide a visual focus for reflection or a creative ritual during a change in direction.
Cleansing, Care & Handling Rules 🌿
Clean gently with a brief cool-water rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking and ultrasonic cleaners because feldspar has cleavage planes. Moonlight or a quiet moment beneath the night sky can be part of a personal charging ritual.
Safe for brief rinsing; avoid prolonged soaking or ultrasonic cleaners as feldspar has natural cleavage planes.
🔬 Identification Considerations for Labradorite
A photograph, a cool feel or a single home observation cannot certify Labradorite. Ask the seller for the material name, treatment disclosure, dimensions and photographs of the actual item. For an expensive or uncertain specimen, seek independent professional identification. Avoid destructive scratch, solvent or heat tests on a finished piece.
