Grey until the light moves

Labradorite looks ordinary until the angle is right, then a blue or green flash appears from within. That effect - labradorescence - is the whole point of the stone.

It photographs badly

The flash only shows within a narrow range of angles, which no photograph can hold. This is a stone that rewards handling rather than looking.

Handle with some care

It is reasonably hard but splits along internal layers, so it does not take knocks well. A damp cloth is all it needs.

Unlock the transformative energy of our Labradorite Crystal slabs, semi-polished to showcase their mesmerizing labradorescence – flashes of blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple, and even pale white dancing across the surface, a display of iridescence that evokes the rainbow. Sourced globally by Rock Paradise from igneous basalt and gabbro deposits, these slabs range from 2-4 inches wide and weigh 50-200 grams (depending on size), blending raw and polished textures for an exquisite aesthetic, a gemstone that’s both a rock and a mineral.

Known as the “Stone of Transformation” and sometimes called spectrolite in Finland, labradorite, a feldspar mineral from the feldspar group with a lamellar structure, enhances intuition, protects the aura, and supports spiritual growth – perfect for meditation, energy work, or elevating your yoga space with its connection to the third eye chakra and crown chakra. Its iridescent glow, a variety of labradorite’s unique propertie, invites zen calm, strengthens imagination, and promotes enthusiasm, making it a standout tool for any holistic practitioner or seeker aiming to cleanse negative energies and awaken consciousness, a most powerful gem for those under zodiac signs like Scorpio, Leo, or Sagittarius.

Three things tell you more about a tower than its price.

Height. The dimension listed on each page is the one to check against the shelf you have in mind. Towers photograph larger than they are.

The stone. Amethyst, obsidian, labradorite and the rest look nothing alike, and each varies from piece to piece. Colour, banding and inclusions are properties of the stone, not flaws in the cutting.

Cut and finish. A polished point catches light along its faces. A rougher finish keeps more of the original surface. This is a matter of taste and of where the piece will stand.

Natural stone is never uniform, and the piece you receive will not be identical to the photograph. That variation is the material, not a defect.

Light, but not full sun

The faces take the light one at a time, so a point on a shelf changes through the day. Keep it out of direct sun though: amethyst and rose quartz both fade.

Named, treatment and all

Undyed is written undyed. Where the colour comes from a metal coating, the page says so, because that is the part nobody else tells you.

No two points alike

Banding, colour zoning, a tip a degree off centre. That unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin, and it is why yours is yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is labradorite?

A feldspar mineral, grey to dark grey in ordinary light. Its distinguishing property is labradorescence: a flash of blue, green or gold that appears at certain angles as the light catches internal layers.

Why does mine look plain from some angles?

Because that is how the stone works. The flash appears within a limited range of angles and disappears outside it - which is why labradorite photographs poorly and rewards handling.

What is labradorite traditionally associated with?

Intuition and transformation, in the crystal literature. We report the association rather than endorse it: we make no claim about what a stone does.

How should it be cleaned?

A damp cloth and a dry one. Labradorite is reasonably hard but cleaves along its layers, so avoid knocks against hard surfaces.

Cut from rough, not grown

A tower starts as a block of rough stone. It is sawn to a rough shape, ground to its faces, then polished by hand through finer and finer grits. The faces are never perfectly equal and the point is rarely perfectly centred - that unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin.

What the colour is telling you

Some of these stones are exactly what they look like. Others are quartz with a metal coating applied under heat, which is where the iridescent blues and violets come from. Neither is a lesser stone, but only one of them is a natural colour, and we say which is which on every listing.
