Labradorite Properties
The Serendipity stone
With labradorite, serendipity becomes a norm. You will often find yourself in the right place at the right time when using labradorite.
It is a highly mystical and protective stone, stimulating intuition and psychic gifts including the art of ‘right timing’.
The meaning of this stone comes from the location in which it was first found, as it was named after Labrador in Canada.
As the matriarch of the subconscious mind, Labradorite brings forgotten memories to light and facilitates their understanding. It encourages contemplation and introspection, bringing the clarity of intellectual thought and intuitive wisdom to help dispel illusion, determine the root cause of an issue, and bring one to peace. It is an uplifting crystal, helping to banish fears and insecurities while enhancing faith and reliance in oneself and trust in the universe.
Pyrite is one of the ‘high vibe’ stones that seem to work very quickly.
Healing
Labradorite is beneficial to the lungs and may assist with respiratory problems, bronchitis and colds. It assists in digestion, regulation, and metabolism.
It has been used in treatment for the eyes and brain disorders, to stimulate mental acuity, and to reduce stress and anxiety. It may also be soothing during menstruation, for PMS symptoms, and for pain relief.
Labradorite lowers blood pressure, reduces sensitivity to cold, and alleviates rheumatism and gout.
User notes:
This stone helps me feel spiritually guided and more in tune with the subtleties in communications that surround us daily. Whenever I use this stone I notice things that I normally wouldn't and of course, I have MANY serendipitous occurrences.
