Labradorite bead bracelet, 4 mm faceted

Labradorite is a calcium-sodium feldspar ((Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈) with a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5 and a triclinic crystal system. Its distinctive feature is labradorescence – an optical phenomenon in which light is refracted and reflected by fine, parallel lamellae within the crystal lattice, creating a magical play of colors in blue, green, gold, and violet. The faceted cut of the 4 mm beads enhances this play of color, causing it to shine in new nuances with every movement. The knot is concealed under a silver bead. Locations: Canada (Labrador, the namesake), Finland, Madagascar, Russia.

Significance in Crystal Healing

Labradorite is considered a stone of balance, transformation, and intuition. It is said to harmonize emotions, strengthen creativity and self-confidence, and protect against negative energies. It is believed to be associated with the brow and throat chakras. These attributions are based on traditional lore and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
