History

Labradorite has a rich history, from being used in healings by Shamans to the Inuit people. There is a legend that an Inuit warrior found a piece of glimmering Labradorite and struck it with his spear, setting the Aurora Borealis free into the sky and the stones that were not struck still contain the Aurora Borealis inside them.  It was named after Labradore in Newfoundland, Canada where it was first identified by geologists in 1770. Due to its iridescent shine it was extremely popular in France and England as jewellery in the 18th century. It is one of the most popular gemstones because of its lustrous shine and varying colours.
