Labradorite: Stone of Transformation & Inner Strength

According to Inuit legend, Labradorite's shimmering colours were born when a warrior struck the Aurora Borealis with his spear, freeing most of its light into the sky — but some remained trapped in the stone. Tilt it in the light and you'll catch flashes of blue, green and gold dancing beneath the surface, like the northern lights frozen in rock.

Beyond its beauty, Labradorite is loved for its grounded, practical support in everyday life — helping you set boundaries, trust your instincts, and move through change with more clarity and less overwhelm.

BOUNDARIES — Often called a stone of healthy boundaries. Said to help you notice when you're overextending yourself or absorbing other people's moods and stress — a gentle reminder to protect your time and energy, and say no without guilt.

INTUITION — Supports that quiet "gut feeling" many of us override. Helps you tune back into your own instincts to make decisions that feel right for you.

INNER STRENGTH — Encourages you to trust your own perspective and back yourself through change or uncertainty.

TRANSFORMATION — A stone for life transitions — new jobs, relationships, chapters. Believed to support change while keeping you connected to your sense of self.

PROTECTION — Its iridescent flashes ("labradorescence") are said to act like a subtle shield, buffering your energy from negativity and day-to-day overwhelm.

IMAGINATION — A favourite among creatives — thought to spark fresh ideas when you feel stuck.

Note: Labradorite's colour play is a real optical effect called labradorescence, caused by light diffracting through internal layering — genuinely beautiful physics. The meanings above are rooted in folklore and crystal tradition, offered for reflection rather than scientific fact.
