Labradorite is one of Jim's favorite crystals; when I drag him to a crystal shop that's where he's immediately drawn. Labradorite is a feldspar mineral that appears to be lit from within with flashes of colors such as deep or light blue, orange, or violet. This iridescence is called labradorescence (or schiller), and it comes from light reflection from tiny planes oriented in one direction in the crystal. Labradorite has a triclinic crystalline lattice structure. Metaphysically, labradorite is a stone of intuition and mystic journeys. It can aid in communication with the higher self or the Divine. |
