Labradorite is a feldspar mineral, prized for its remarkable optical effect called labradorescence, which causes spectacular flashes of iridescent colour—blue, green, yellow, gold, orange, and red—when light hits the crystal structure from a particular angle. The body colour is usually a dark, smoky grey or black. It possesses a beautiful pearly to vitreous lustre. Its durability and arresting beauty make it a highly sought-after stone for unique jewellery and decorative carvings.
Labradorite is known as the "Stone of Magic and Protection." It is a powerful mystical stone that is believed to raise consciousness, protect the aura, and help the user connect with universal energies. It forms a barrier against negative energy and psychic attack, preventing energy leakage. It is highly effective in enhancing intuition, psychic gifts, and the ability to recognise one's destiny. It calms an overactive mind, relieves anxiety, and brings courage and patience.
Hardness: 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale (it requires care when worn as jewellery).
Chakra: Primarily the Third Eye Chakra (for intuition and wisdom) and the Crown Chakra (for spiritual connection).
Zodiac Sign: Leo, Scorpio, and Sagittarius.
Benefits: Protects the aura and prevents energy leakage, enhances intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual wisdom, calms an overactive mind and relieves anxiety, aids in transformation and personal development, and promotes courage and perseverance.

Carry it: Keep a piece in your pocket or bag, especially when working in high-stress environments or around draining people, to protect your aura and prevent energy depletion.
Wear it: As jewellery (a pendant near the throat or third eye is ideal) for continuous access to its mystical, protective, and clarifying energies throughout the day.
Use for transformation: Use the stone when working toward major life changes, as it provides the necessary energy and guidance to courageously embrace and organise transformation.
