Chakra: Labradorite is a stone which, owing to its diversity in colors, shows no particular preference for any chakra. It leaves it to us to decide through which chakra it penetrates our body. Labradorite / Spectrolite wants to be used individually and not in combinations with other stones. Therefore, its sensitive waves penetrate especially deep in the chakras. Labradorite is also very suitable for solo-meditation (only with Labradorite). Doing so, you will achieve a very deep penetration of the Labradorite right through to the most remote corner of your mind. There blockades, which were deposited and were forgotten long ago, dating back as far as the phases of our birth, will be recognized and, when they become a burden to you, can be better carried away.

How can I obtain a Labradorite and how should I look after it? Meanwhile, Labradorite / Spectrolite has become a very popular semi-precious stone and healing stone, so the sites at which it is found have become almost exhausted. Its price is in the higher range and it can only be obtained from good specialist dealers. You can obtain Labradorite as a rough stone, tumbled stones, hand stones, beads, chains, donuts and many fantastic forms for necklaces and leather bands. You should discharge Labradorite following use under lukewarm, running water. If you notice that the surface has become cloudy, we recommend you let it rest for one or two days in a dish with mineral water and place it in the sun. This will purify the Labradorite of negative energies and, at the same time, it will be recharged by the minerals and rays from the sun. Labradorite chains should be discharged in a dry bowl with hematite tumbled stones overnight and then recharged in the sun or in a group of crystals.
