Labradorite Dragonfly Carving | Gold Plated

For the middle of a change, when you can't see the other side yet.

Look at labradorite straight on and it's grey. Tilt it, and blue, gold or green flashes across the surface. That flash has a name — labradorescence — and it happens because the stone formed in microscopic layers that refract light between them. It isn't a coating or a treatment. It's the internal structure doing what it has always done, waiting for the right angle.

It was named for Labrador in Canada, where Moravian missionaries recorded it in 1770, though the Inuit had long known it. Their account: the northern lights were once trapped in the rocks of the coast, and a warrior struck them with a spear to free them. Most escaped. Some stayed.

Labradorite is worked with for transformation and intuition — for the stretch between who you were and who you're becoming. It's also considered protective during that stretch, which is why it's chosen at the start of something rather than the end.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Turn yours slowly in daylight to find where it comes alive.
