Labradorite Heart (Madagascar)

Labradorite is a feldspar-group mineral traditionally associated with intuition and transformation. This polished heart from Madagascar is carved and smoothed into a classic heart form, with a dark grey-black body that flashes teal and blue labradorescence across both faces as it catches the light.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Labradorite's signature flash, called labradorescence, comes from thin internal layers that bend and reflect light in shifting bands of color — no two angles show quite the same pattern. In crystal tradition it's linked to intuition and transformation, often reached for during periods of change. Many people also connect it with the third eye and throat chakra.

Each heart is natural and one of a kind — flash intensity, dominant color tones, and exact size vary from piece to piece, so yours may differ from the photo. See more in our labradorite collection or browse other heart-shaped stones.

How to use it

A heart-shaped piece like this is often kept on a desk or altar, held during meditation, or given as a keepsake. Many people simply enjoy turning it in the light to watch the flash shift. It pairs well with other pieces in our intuition & spirituality collection.

Care & cleansing

Labradorite tolerates a brief rinse, but dry it promptly and avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or extended soaking. To cleanse it energetically, many people use sound, a gentle smoke pass, or moonlight.
