Labradorite Rough (Small)

Labradorite Rough (Small) is a natural feldspar mineral traditionally associated with intuition and transformation. This raw, unpolished piece shows the stone's natural surface and dark-grey cleavage planes, with labradorescence visible when the cleavage faces catch the light at the right angle — pocket-sized and ready to collect or carry. Quick facts Stone Labradorite Composition Feldspar (sodium calcium aluminosilicate) Hardness (Mohs) 6–6.5 Color Dark grey base with blue, green, or gold labradorescent flash Origin Primarily Canada and Madagascar Chakra Third Eye Traditionally used for Intuition, transformation, inner insight Care / Water-safe Brief rinse fine; avoid long soaks and harsh chemicals Meaning & history Labradorite takes its name from the Labrador coast of Canada, where its shifting color play was first documented. In crystal tradition it's linked to the Third Eye chakra and associated with intuition and transformation. Explore more in labradorite or browse the wider rough crystals and specimens collection. How to use it Carry it in a pocket, set it on a windowsill to catch shifting light, or keep it on a desk or altar as a quiet focal point. Each piece is natural and completely one of a kind — shape, size, and the character of any flash all vary, so yours will be unique. It pairs naturally with our Chalcopyrite Rough (Peacock Ore), another Third Eye specimen with its own dramatic flash. Care & cleansing A brief rinse is fine given labradorite's moderate hardness, but avoid long soaks and harsh chemicals, and dry it after any water contact. As a raw unpolished piece, natural cleavage edges can be a little sharp, so handle gently. Frequently asked questions What is Labradorite and what is it traditionally used for? Labradorite is a feldspar mineral known for labradorescence — a flash of blue, green, or gold that appears when light hits its cleavage planes at the right angle. In crystal tradition it's associated with intuition and transformation. This is a decorative and symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device. Is Labradorite water-safe? Yes, a brief rinse is fine since labradorite is a moderately hard feldspar, but avoid long soaks and harsh chemicals, and dry it after any water contact. Is Labradorite safe for daily carry or sun exposure? Yes, it's durable enough for pocket carry, though as a raw unpolished piece the natural cleavage edges can be a little sharp, so handle gently. How do people cleanse and charge Labradorite? A soft dry or slightly damp cloth wipe works well, or resting it near other stones or briefly in moonlight. How can I tell Labradorite is real? Genuine labradorite shows its signature flash only from certain angles — tilt the stone and watch the color appear and disappear. Because each rough piece is natural, shape, size, and flash character vary from stone to stone. What pairs well with Labradorite? It pairs well with other intuition and transformation stones like moonstone or amethyst.
