Gray at first sight, labradorite changes the moment you tilt it toward the light: a flash of electric blue, peacock green or gold sweeps across the surface. That shifting glow is called labradorescence, and it's what makes the stone so captivating. Our labradorite jewelry keeps the settings simple so the flash does the talking.
How to recognize labradorite
Labradorite is a gray to brownish-gray feldspar, and its whole appeal comes down to one detail: turn it and the surface lights up blue, green, sometimes gold or violet. The effect comes from fine layers inside the stone that split the light. At 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, it is moderately hard, and a good polish brings out its full depth.
The meaning of labradorite
Labradorite is a stone of protection, a kind of shield you wear to stay centerd when life gets busy. It's also worn for intuition and inner balance, something to come back to when emotions run high. Mysterious by nature, it's a stone for listening to yourself.
Labradorite bracelets, necklaces and pendants
A labradorite bracelet flashes every time you move your wrist. As a pendant or necklace, the stone sits close to your face, where the light brings it to life. You can also browse our gemstone necklaces, our Protection collection and our yoga and meditation pieces. For a closer look at the flash, our labradorite rings and labradorite pendants put the stone front and center.
Caring for your labradorite
Labradorite is only moderately hard, so it can chip and scratch. Store it on its own and keep it away from chemicals. A soft cloth and a little clean water are all it needs.
To wear it around your neck, pick a fine pendant or a mala: every design is in our labradorite necklaces.
