🌍 Origin and history of labradorite

Labradorite comes from the Labrador region of Canada, where it was discovered in 1770 by European missionaries. Its name literally means "mineral from Labrador," with the suffix "ite" coming from ancient Greek.

This region is rich in indigenous cultures (Innus, Inuits, Métis), and many legends surround this stone.

According to an Inuit legend, a young warrior broke a huge labradorite with his spear to release the celestial light trapped inside.
The shards rose into the sky and formed the aurora borealis, while others remained frozen in the stone, creating its famous iridescent reflections.

Some traditions consider labradorite to be a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds.
