Labradorite is a stone fighting for it’s own identity. For as popular and well loved as it is, there is not a great deal of information published regarding it’s properties, specifically physical healing properties. Some additional ‘deeper research’ was required.

It seems as though this “identity crisis” arises from the fact that Labradorite is more than one mineral…well sort of…sometimes….and it’s Grandmother is often referred to as Black Labradorite or Black Moonstone, and Labradorite itself is also called Black Moonstone…But both Moonstone and Labradorite have layers of Albite on them to make them who they are, but Albite too is a Feldspar all on it’s own….and during this research a new stone was found…Parent to the Feldspar….and deeper yet, Feldspar’s Mother as well….the Great Grandmother of the Dark Beauty that is Labradorite…here is a portion of the ‘family structure’…

• MONZONITE
  • LARVIKITE (Feldspar is found in it, and is known as Black Moonstone & Black Labradorite)
    • FELDSPAR (Generally white, but is in various colors as well)
      • ALBITE (It’s own mineral, it is a Feldspar, it is the top portion of plate like schiller present on Labradorite & Rainbow Moonstone)
      • LABRADORITE (It’s own mineral, it is a Feldspar, but also called Spectrolite. It has a darker colored base with Albite on top and often referred to as Black Moonstone)
      • MOONSTONE/RAINBOW MOONSTONE (It’s own mineral, it is a Feldspar, Lighter colored base with Albite-sometimes-and there is a moonstone that is actually grey referred to as Black Moonstone)
      • SPECTROLITE (Labradorite with Darker Opalescent Blue base no Albite but dark inclusions Also called Black Moonstone & Hawk’s Eye or Falcon’s Eye)

Albite	Labradorite	Larvikite
Spectrolite	Rainbow Moonstone	Moonstone

Labradorite, possessing it’s own charms, is also part Feldspar and part Albite. Therefore the properties of all three of these minerals make up the magic that is Labradorite. All together, it is a fantastical dark into light gemstone, taking darker and unwanted qualities and replacing them with positive energies.

Told to provide quick relief from anxiety, depression and hopelessness; replacing them with self-confidence, enthusiasm and inspiration. When one is experiencing times of conflict and change, Labradorite is said to offer perseverance, strength, and enhanced inner intuition to assist in that time of disruption. Said to dispel negative thoughts and energies, bringing instead enhanced clarity of thought for a clearer understanding, as well as improving one’s ability to cooperate in harmony with others.

Called a sister to the Moonstone, Labradorite links the ‘darker’ Crone aspects to the Moonstone’s ‘light’ Goddess energies, granting an inner knowing, enhancing intuition and psychic perception. Much the same as the cord cutting Crone, Labradorite assists the bearer to release all judgement so one may better understand the destiny one has chosen.

This beautiful combination of minerals seems to help communicate one’s intentions more clearly to the Universe, by which magic begins to emerge. Synchronicity or “coincidences” abound in one’s favor, things that had once been misplaced will be discovered again, Labradorite helps to ground and integrate one physically in the higher energies, while also offering a deeper understanding of previously unidentified or misunderstood messages from one’s inner being.

In it’s elixir form, the lovely Labradorite purges one of negativity, bringing well being and slight pain killing properties. When used for physical healing purposes, one should hold or carry as a touchstone, or wear as jewelry. When the healing process is complete, the stone should be cleansed under running water. If by chance it’s surface becomes cloudy, place it in a glass with mineral water and set in a spot where it will have sun and moon light for a few days so it may be recharged, regenerated, and refreshed.
