Collection: Canadian Labradorite
Canadian Labradorite Bracelet — FAQ
What is Canadian labradorite?
Canadian labradorite is a natural feldspar gemstone known for its vibrant labradorescence—iridescent flashes of blue, green, gold, or multi-color. Canada (especially Newfoundland) is one of the world’s most recognized origins for high-flash labradorite.
Why is Canadian labradorite popular?
Canada’s deposits are known for intense blue flashes, stable quality, and distinct internal layering that produces strong optical play. Many collectors consider Canadian material among the most consistent and visually striking.
What colors and flashes can I expect?
Expect base tones of charcoal grey to smokey silver with flashes of electric blue, teal, green, or gold. Each bead shows unique natural patterns due to feldspar layering.
Does stronger flash mean better quality?
Not always, but many buyers prefer high-flash beads. Quality depends on clarity, even surface, minimal cracks, and well-cut angles that optimize the flash effect.
How can I tell if my labradorite is real?
Genuine labradorite has directional flash that moves with light, natural internal layers, and cool stone feel. Fake resin beads often look too uniform, overly glossy, or have rainbow glitter instead of true labradorescence.
Is Canadian labradorite durable for daily wear?
With a Mohs hardness of ~6–6.5, it’s suitable for daily use but should be kept away from strong impacts or abrasive surfaces. The flash is natural and won’t “fade,” but surface scratches should be avoided.
Can labradorite get wet? How do I care for it?
Light handwashing is fine, but avoid soaking, saltwater, hot tubs, and harsh chemicals. Wipe dry after contact with moisture. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
What does Canadian labradorite symbolize?
Traditionally, labradorite is associated with intuition, clarity, and energetic protection. Many choose it as a reminder to stay grounded, focused, and shielded from negativity—belief-based symbolism used in mindful practices.
Which chakra is connected to labradorite?
It’s commonly linked with the Third Eye Chakra, representing clarity and intuitive insight in symbolic crystal traditions.
How do I choose the right bracelet size?
Measure a snug wrist and add 0.5–0.7 in (1.2–1.8 cm) for a comfortable elastic fit. Small ≈ 5.5–6 in, Medium ≈ 6–6.5 in, Large ≈ 6.5–7 in.
6 mm vs 8 mm — which looks better for labradorite?
6 mm shows refined shimmer suitable for stacking, while 8 mm highlights bolder flashes and is ideal as a focal piece.
What pairs well with Canadian labradorite?
For depth, pair with black onyx. For clarity themes, add clear quartz. For elegance, layer with gold-plated jewelry or baroque pearls.
