Description
Labradorite pendant 07
According to an Inuit legend, the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador, and then a wandering Inuit warrior found them and freed most of the lights with a mighty blow of his spear. It was first discovered in 1770 on the Isle of Paul, near the town of Nain in Labrador, Canada. The local Inuit people were already familiar with the stone, using it in various tools and ornamental items. However, it was the Moravian missionaries who first documented and named the mineral, recognizing its unique and beautiful iridescence. The name is derived from the Labrador region, cementing its connection to this rugged and remote area. Set in Sterling Silver.
Approximate size 1 1/4″ x 3/8″ x 3/16″
