Labradorite is derived from its main source, Labrador peninsula in Canada. It is a type of feldspar with an uninteresting background color but displaying an iridescence which gives the stone its value. The background color is a dark smoke grey, but rainbow-colored reflections (peacock blue, coppery red or dusky gold) known as labradorescence. Also known as spectrolite.
Labradorite is thought by some to symbolize the moon and the sun and has, in fact, been found to be a constituent of moon rock, feldspar, and therefore labradorite assists one to progress from old ways, encouraging exciting new methods to attain one's goals.
Labradorite is Saturday's stone.
