A member of the feldspar family, it forms in igneous rock and carries within it a phenomenon known as labradorescence, a vivid, shifting play of colour that moves across the surface of the stone as it catches the light. Blues, greens, golds, and occasionally violet and copper flash from within the stone as the angle changes, a spectral quality that seems almost impossible for something pulled from the earth. The effect is entirely natural, the result of light refracting between the thin layers of mineral within the crystal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabradorite is associated with the third eye chakra and long held as a stone of transformation, intuition, and protection. It is said to strengthen the aura, deflecting unwanted energies while enhancing the wearer’s own inner knowing. It is a stone for those who trust their instincts, or who are learning to, thought to heighten perception, support psychic awareness, and encourage a deeper connection to one’s own truth. It works quietly, and its effects tend to build over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshwater pearls share a different kind of magic. Grown within molluscs in rivers and lakes, each pearl forms around a small irritant, the shell building layer upon layer of nacre until something luminous emerges. No two are identical in shape or surface. They carry a long association with purity, patience, and emotional wisdom, a softness that balances the more electric energy of the labradorite beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese earrings feature a drop of freshwater pearl beads, faceted labradorite beads, and round disc-shaped labradorite beads, spaced with sterling silver accent beads. The labradorite flashes as the earrings move, the pearls bring a soft, organic lustre, and the disc beads add a considered structural detail that ties the design together. The whole drop hangs from sterling silver round earwires, a clean, classic finish that keeps the focus on the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier.
