Labradorite Cube

Labradorite is a feldspar famous for labradorescence, the flash of color that shifts as light hits the stone at different angles. Traditionally associated with intuition and protection, it's a favorite for display pieces with real presence. This polished cube has flat, squared sides and a smooth finish, with a satisfying, solid weight in the hand and the signature flash of teal, gold, and violet running through its grey-blue surface.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Labradorite was first documented in Labrador, Canada, and its shifting flash quickly earned it a reputation for magic and protection in crystal tradition. It's most often linked to the third eye chakra and associated with intuition. The colorful flash itself, called labradorescence, happens when light enters thin internal layers of the stone and reflects at certain angles, producing the shifting color that gives labradorite its distinctive look.

How to use it

Keep the cube on a desk or shelf simply to enjoy its shifting iridescence throughout the day, or set it somewhere it will catch natural light, like a windowsill. Many people gently rotate it now and then, since even a small change in angle can bring out a different color in the flash.

Care & cleansing

Labradorite is moderately durable, around 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale, but it's still best to avoid prolonged soaking. A brief rinse is fine if needed — dry it promptly afterward with a soft cloth to protect the polished surface and preserve its flash.
