Monday Blues - Labradorite Magic!

When first seen the mineral Labradorite, not surprisingly originally mined in Labrador, Canada - seems an uninspiring dull, dark grey to black stone, hardly a suitable material for jewellery but it has hidden depths!
In the world of Crystal Magic it's believed to encourage patience & perseverance - rightly so for if one uses both and turn a piece in bright light or natural sunshine, in certain directions a magical play of colours called labradorescence suddenly appear.
This pendant of mine produces flashes of vibrant blue...Labradorite is also thought to protect & balance ones aura, which seems appropriate as it always reminds me of the Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights as it shimmers brightly then disappears, only to reappear & dance again.

Beautiful - I can see the image of a mother and child in this (no I'm not crazy!)
