BLACK LABRADORITE: A legend among ancient Inuit people said that the beautiful flashes of blue, green, and purple iridescence in Labradorite stones were caused by the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis being trapped and frozen inside rocks along the coast of Labrador in Canada, until one day an Inuit Warrior came and found these stones, full of frozen fire. He struck the rock with his spear to free the Aurora Borealis, releasing the majestic colors into the sky, but was unable to free it all, leaving some of the energy remaining in the rocks. The labradorite is said to contain a "frozen fire" from the Northern Lights, giving it the characteristic blue and green glow from within. It is this trapped energy that we now see as the brilliant rainbow of colors inside the gems. Labradorite is sometimes referred to as the Stone of Magic. This stone is valued by shamans, who believe it can help attain a higher consciousness, increase psychic abilities, bolster intuition, and aid in psychic journeying. A stone of transformation, Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance, transforming negative experiences to positive ones, and imparting wisdom. It is believed to help balance and protect the aura, raises consciousness and ground spiritual energies. It is also believed to help reduce stress and anxiety. Considered a strong protection stone as well, as well as one that attracts luck. It is linked to two Chakras: Third Eye and Crown Chara. The Crown Chakra is related to higher consciousness, spirituality, and wisdom.
