Originating from a rugged region in eastern Canada on Paul Island, near the settlement of Nain in Newfoundland and Labrador, where it gets its name, Labradorite embodies a sense of exploration and otherworldly fascination. Nowadays, Labradorite is mined in various locations worldwide, including Madagascar and Finland, each unveiling a distinct and captivating palette of colours and patterns.

ARCHEOLOGICAL HISTORY

Labradorite's fascinating history is rooted in the ancient cultures of Canada's northern region, where it was first discovered. In Inuit legend, Labradorite was known as the "fire stone", and its powdered form was used to heal the body and soul. A brave warrior once glimpsed the ethereal glow of Aurora Borealis trapped within the rocks and, with his trusty spear, freed a portion of the luminous magic.

In the late eighteenth century, Moravian missionaries discovered the stone and named it "labradorite," introducing it to the European market. And so, this beautiful gemstone continued to inspire wonder and weave its magic in people's hearts worldwide, just as it had for generations before.
