History and folklore
Labradorite was named after Labrador, Canada, where European missionaries described it in the 1770s. Inuit folklore, as it is often retold, says the northern lights were once trapped inside the stones until a warrior struck them with his spear, freeing most of the light but leaving some flashes behind. Its shimmering play of color, called labradorescence, has made it a favorite of modern witches, who see it as a stone of hidden magick, intuition, and gentle protection.
