List of Stones & Minerals

What is labradorite in lithotherapy?

Labradorite is a mineral of the silicate group, a subgroup of tectosilicates of the plagioclase feldspar family. It is a variety of anorthite (and not a species recognized by the IMA) with an albite/anorthite ratio of 30/70 to 50/50. The chemical formula is (Na, Ca)(Al, Si)4O8, with traces of Fe;K;H2O. The particularity of certain pieces is to have a play of colors with a metallic shine. Blue and green are the colors most commonly found, but some quality stones can be sumptuously inhabited by all colors of the spectrum. The phenomenon is the result of interference in paired lamellae (Schiller effect of adularescence, known for other members of the family such as oligoclase).

The benefits: Caring stone, protects and relieves (physical and intellectual fatigue), absorbs negative energies.

Astrological signs: Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius, Pisces.

Chakra: hand, throat.
