Intuition, Transformation, and Energetic Protection

The crystal of the magical veil

Labradorite is a mesmerizing stone that shines from the shadows. At first glance, it may seem gray or dark, but when touched by light, it reveals iridescent flashes of blue, green, gold, and sometimes violet. This phenomenon, known as labradorescence, perfectly symbolizes its power: revealing hidden light within darkness.

Known as the stone of mysticism, Labradorite protects the aura, enhances intuition, and awakens psychic abilities. It’s ideal for witches, healers, mediums, and all those who walk between worlds, seeking spiritual insight and ancient truths.
