The use of labradorite in jewels became quite frequent around the 18th century in countries like France and England. This stone was employed in broaches, pins and bracelets and was carved out into various shapes as well. Traditionally stones were set in these forms of jewelry and the first letter of the stone usually either expressed some sentiment or formed some motto. The initial letter ‘L’ of this stone was used in “Good Luck” wishes. Historically, it was worn as it was believed that it brought good luck. Though initially used in brooch, bracelets and pin, it was later used in pieces of jewelry like anklets, necklaces as well as earrings. It was also believed that if worn in a neckpiece, the stone would bring excellent luck in both love and health.
Labradorite is considered to be a “Gem of Winter”. It enjoys this title along with diamond, as it is believed that the god of mines picked these as the two “Gems of Winter” due to its property of emitting all the shades and colors of the universe and ability to combine all the colors just as white light. It epitomizes sun as the gem of light. This stone was used for magic, in ceremonies and rituals and metaphysically, it is believed to lift up consciousness and elevate psychic ability. It is also said to reveal one’s spiritual destiny. Its medical properties include reducing stress and anxiety and raising mental acuteness. It clarifies night vision and regulates metabolism. Its labradorescence reminds us of the purpose of this stone, to serve as a guiding light in darkness.
