What is Labradorite?

Labradorite is a member of the 'Feldspar' mineral family and is treasured for its remarkable play of colour, known as labradorescence. The stone, usually gray-green or dark gray, is composed in aggregate layers that refract light as iridescent flashes of peacock blue, gold, pale green, or coppery red. It is a stunning stone that changes with movement.

Blue Chalcedony was considered a sacred stone by the Native American Indians, it was said to be used daily to promote stability during ceremonial activities as well as meditations for a creating a pathway for receiving successful transmission from the spirit world. The name chalcedony comes from Calcedon or Chalcedon, an ancient port on the Sea of Marmara, in Asia Minor.
