Labradorite

We are beings of light, sound, and soul force. Like each of us, you have a unique purpose on the planet. Labradorite holds up a mirror to your true self to remind you of your radiant soul essence. It shows you your strengths even as its mirror acts as a shield to deflect away unwanted energies and allow them to bounce off you. 

Labradorite stands guard at the gateways of your inner dimensions to shield you from the negative energies that travel through the inner and outer worlds. Thus, it protects you from potentially disruptive forces in the environment and from other beings—the forces of confusion and disconnection that can make you forget who are really are at your core.

By holding up a mirror to your soul essence, Labradorite encourages a deeper state of soul alignment. It helps integrate your soul essence with all dimensions of your being. In this way, Labradorite helps restore harmony throughout all layers of your multidimensional self. This alignment, along with Labradorite’s protective powers, strengthens your ability to stay true to yourself. 

To some degree, Labradorite can also help clear away one’s own negativity as well as teach us how to resist negative energies inside and around us. 

Labradorite can be especially helpful if you tend to get bogged down by negative thoughts or feelings, have difficulty resisting other people’s influence, or if health problems are worsened by negative stresses or energetic interference. The gem’s shielding can have healing effects if aliments or pain are caused by energetic disruption.

In a modern world suffused with electromagnetic fields, Labradorite also offers a degree of protection from these disruptive frequencies, specifically by restoring your multidimensional alignment.

Labradorite’s energy is mystical, magical, and quietly powerful. It has reminded us for centuries that the forces of the spiritual realms are always present within and around us.

The Colors in Labradorite

The gray color in Labradorite acts as a neutral foundation for the gem’s mirroring effects. Labradorite’s optical iridescence, known as labradorescence, and the stones’ various shimmering colors represent a rainbow of possibilities. Each color reminds us of a different power within ourselves and brings its own mirroring and protective assistance.

Unlike in most gemstones, the colors we see in Labradorite are not intrinsic to the gem. Instead, its iridescent colors are produced by light entering the stone and being refracted by internal fractures, dispersing the light at different angles into different colors. This effect is parallel to the way Labradorite acts as a mirror to both deflect away negative energies and reflect our deeper selves back to us.

The effect of the Labradorite’s blue iridescence is to restore clear thinking and clear seeing. When blue is present with a golden-yellow sheen, the wearer is made more aware of soul’s purpose and power. 

Light Gray Labradorite 

Gemisphere offers two shades of Labradorite: dark gray and light gray. The differences between them are subtle, with each shade slightly emphasizing different effects.

The subtle emphasis of light gray Labradorite is to encourage us to explore and rise to the higher dimensions of our consciousness and soul presence. This shade acts not only as a protector, but also as a mentor pointing us to higher states of being and soul realization. Its effects are easier to access in our conscious waking life than those of the darker shade.

Dark Gray Labradorite

While the effects of the light gray shades are also present in these gems, the darker shade gently encourages a deeper experience of our inner realms. Its emphasis is to align and integrate our consciousness with our subconscious dimensions and with foundational experiences from our past, rather than with what we are consciously experiencing. Labradorite’s protective aspect is particularly strong in the darker gray shades.

If we were to personify the two shades, the light gray can be imagined as a teacher holding a mirror—a mentoring guide who shows you the way to higher vibrational states. While the light gray shade is protective, its shielding effect doesn’t need to be as strong. The dark gray Labradorite can be imagined as a warrior who holds a sword and shield. It provides strong protection as you align yourself more powerfully with your own inner strengths until you no longer need that protection.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Labradorite necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

When you are not wearing your Labradorite necklace, you can place it at your bedside or in your surroundings to help protect your multidimensional environment. While the gems will be protective, they will not have the effect of aligning your own dimensions and strengths, as they do when they are worn.

Labradorite as a Meditation Tool

You can also use Labradorite as a contemplative aid in meditation and intuitive healing or self-education. Coil up a Labradorite necklace and, while quieting your mind, focus your gaze on the gems for as long as you wish. Simply gazing at Labradorite with a relaxed and open mind can bring a powerfully elevated intuitive state. Doors in your consciousness may seem to open effortlessly, revealing new dimensions of truth.

Time Guidelines

Labradorite can be worn continuously. However, you may wish to start out slowly, wearing it for several hours a day and gradually increasing the time as you become accustomed to its energy. Wearing it during sleep is best done after a few days of wearing it only during the day. However, you can place it by your bedside or under a pillow immediately. 

As always, it is wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Labradorite Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Labradorite necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week during use, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week during use, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems to avoid scratching the surface.

Water Rinse: 2 – 3 times a week during use, rinse the gems in alternating cool and warm water. Avoid using hot or cold water, a gentle natural soap can be used.

Special Notes: Do not place Labradorite in the sun for cleansing. Avoid clay cleansing, which may dull Labradorite’s polish.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Therapeutic Quality Labradorite

Therapeutic Labradorite has a clean light or dark gray base with minimal or no brown tone. It displays a distinct optical labradorescence in a rainbow of hues. One of the most common of these is an iridescent blue. Clarity combined with excellent labradorescence is the hallmark of therapeutic-quality Labradorite.

For maximum therapeutic effectiveness, the color of the gems in a Labradorite necklace should be consistent and not mix light and dark gray shades. To create each Labradorite necklace, Gemisphere meticulously matches gems that are compatible in size, quality, and color to produce a potent and harmonious energy signature. 

Therapeutic Labradorite is 100 percent natural and has not been subjected to any treatments, such as dye, which would disrupt its energy. Unlike most Labradorite necklaces on the market, which contain faceted gems to disguise their low quality, Gemisphere’s high-quality Labradorite gems are spherical, with minimal or no irregularities.
