The chips of labradorite are about 10 - 22mm long; the entire labradorite strand is 40cm long.
The dark Labradorite belongs to the feldspar group. The strengthening of intuition, depth of feeling and medial gifts are classic applications of the mineral; as well as the support of truth-seeking and reflection.
In the 18th century the first labradorites reached Europe, after they were found on the Canadian peninsula Labrador in 1770. The mineral received its name "Labradorite" in 1832 by the French mineralogist and professor François Bedaunt (1787 - 1850) because of the location where it was found. Occasionally encountered spellings such as labardorite, labradoride, labradoriet, labradorite, labratorite or lapradorite are therefore incorrect.
