This is a Labradorite crystal skull. This one has been here charging with Synergy for 10+ years. Small colored flashes catch the light as you move the stone around in your hands. Colors present include blue, green, gold, and orange. As always, the flashes become visible from different angles as you move the stone around in your hands. They are hard to accurately photograph. Much nicer 'in person' than the photos can show.
The stone has very organic patterns and inclusions, some of which you can feel subtly as you run your fingers over the stone! They can resemble small pinpricks, small notches (like in the base of the skull, left side), OR fine lines/linear indents on the surface of the stone. These areas come from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. I always pick my stones by energy FIRST! Nicer 'in person' than the photos show. I guarantee it! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 3oz and measures approximately 50mm (just under 2" inches) long X 33mm (1 5/16" inches) tall. Code-20818
Labradorite is a powerful stone, said to help you to "remember the magical and mystical," and to increase one's intuition, aiding in spiritual, as well as, psychic development. It can be useful in divination, on a variety of levels.
It also aids in dream recall and helps one to work with the 'waking dream' in everyday life.
It is considered to be a "Stone of Transformation" as well as the "Mystic's Stone."
It has been used extensively to work with Nature Spirits, (also called Devas, Nature Spirits or the Fairy / Faerie kingdom.)
Labradorite is often used for protection, as it discourages energy vampires from tapping into your energy and draining you. If you are very sensitive and are uncomfortable in social settings, or large gatherings or events and want to help keep from feeling energetically drained then try wearing a piece of Labradorite. Touching the skin is ideal, but a piece placed in your pocket or a medicine pouch can be helpful, as well.
Labradorite has a high Feldspar content; feldspar is a component of almost all stones that strongly discourage energy vampires.
Some Indigenous healers use it to give clarity and insight - often so they can understand their destiny within a situation. It's also used to attract success, in whatever context success is meant.
In Crystal Healing, Labradorite is used in treating eye and brain disorders and to help regulate metabolism and all digestive processes.
It is associated with the Solar Plexus (Third) Chakra and the (Sixth) Third Eye Chakra.
Hornblende by itself or mixed with another mineral causes a beautiful “cat’s eye” chatoyancy or a shimmering effect that is scattered throughout the stone.
Hornblende repels negative energies, and supports one's efforts to discover and understand one's own role in attacks from other people. Useful in letting go of envy and jealousy, it is also used for protection. Like it is the mineral that when found in large amounts in other stones, discourages others from tapping into your energy and draining you – aka Psychic vampires.
In Crystal Healing, it is thought to support the thyroid as well as the heart.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
