Aids in the ability to see and communicate with other positive beings and protects from negative ones. Fosters a consciousness of life purpose and provides a transforming, intense energy.
Crystal System...
Labradorite has a triclinic crystal system and is in the mineral class of Lattice Silicate, in the Feldspar family. The Feldspar family contains many of the favorite 'flashy' gems such as Albite, Moonstone and Sunstone. It is mainly formed in alkaline igneous rocks and was discovered in 1770 on the Labrador peninsula which is how it acquired its name.
Since its discovery it has now been found all over the world. A more granular variety has been discovered in Oregon, but some of the nicest flash is currently found in India and from South America. Its coloring can be misleading at first, usually a gray or green. When it is turned for different views, its inner beauty is revealed. The iridescent flashes of color we see come from its fine laminate structure that bends the incoming light.
Application...
Labradorite reveals its spiritual effects most noticeably during meditation, especially when laid upon the third eye. When worn, it helps with beneficial transformations in patience and our 'inner knowing' of the right time for action.
Spiritually...
Labradorite is an awesome illusion killer. It clearly shows us our goals and intentions as they really are. It also strengthens intuition and its transformation to intelligent thought.
Emotionally...
Labradorite reminds us of forgotten memories and brings a depth of feeling. It can stimulate imagination and creativity.
Mentally...
Labradorite provides us with child like enthusiasm and many new ideas. While it provides much creativity, it can sometimes be erratic, or too much at once. It may be necessary in those instances to limit its use until accustomed to working with this one.
Physically...

Labradorite has a special affinity with Sagittarius, Scorpio and Leo, but is beneficial to all signs. It's Energy is Projective and is generally associated with the waning Moon or Crone aspect in that it provides understanding of others to its user.
Folklore...
