Labradorite Tumbled Stone

Labradorite is a feldspar mineral known for labradorescence, an internal flash of blue, teal, and gold that appears as the stone catches the light. This tumbled stone is polished smooth and pocket-sized, with a dark grey-black exterior that reveals its signature flash at the right angle.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Labradorite was first documented in Labrador, Canada, in the late 1700s, though the stone's striking flash — caused by thin internal layers that scatter light — has drawn attention wherever it's been found. In crystal tradition, labradorite is associated with intuition, protection, and transformation, and it's often linked to the third eye chakra. Many people carry a tumbled stone in a pocket as a quiet daily companion, treating it as a small physical reminder rather than anything more.

How to use it

Carry it in a pocket or bag so you can turn it in your fingers and catch the flash throughout the day, or keep it on a desk or bedside table as a small visual anchor. Some people hold it for a moment before a task that calls for extra awareness or focus. Each tumbled stone is natural and one of a kind — the intensity and dominant color of the flash, shape, and size all vary from piece to piece.

Care & cleansing

Labradorite is fairly durable at a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, so a light rinse under water is fine occasionally, but avoid prolonged soaking, which can dull its polished surface over time. Dry it promptly with a soft cloth after any contact with water, and avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Store it away from harder stones that could scratch its surface.
