In gemstone healing, dark Labradorite (dark) stands for reflection and truth; the supporting effect of the mineral can strengthen intuition and depth of feeling.

The first labradorites arrived in Europe in the 18th century after they were found on the Canadian Labrador Peninsula in 1770. The Czech missionary Father Adolf found the first pieces there when the Moravians founded numerous settlements on the forest-covered peninsula in the Atlantic. The mineral was given its name "labradorite" in 1832 by the French mineralogist and professor François Bedaunt (1787 - 1850) due to its localities on the Labrador Peninsula. Occasional spellings such as labardorite, labradoride, labradoriet, labradorite, labratorite or lapradorite are therefore incorrect.
