Labradorite pendants and more in Sterling Silver. According to an Inuit legend, the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador. 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. They recognized 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.
Labradorite is a feldspar mineral first discovered in Labrador, Canada, and known for its iridescent colors, a phenomenon called labradorescence. The shimmering blue, green, violet, and other colors are not caused by impurities. Instead, they are caused by light reflecting off internal layers of the stone. It is a relatively hard mineral (6-6.5 on the Mohs scale). It is used in jewelry and architecture, and in some cultures, it is considered a spiritual stone associated with transformation and intuition.
