This beautiful transparent yellow crystal is a plagioclase feldspar mineral with a hardness of 6 to 6.5. It is also known as "Bytownite", and is found in Oregon, and more commonly in Mexico. It seems to contain a vibrant solar energy, so fitting for these summer months! It is a stone of empowerment - it brings confidence, strengthens right use of will and determination, enhances calmness and clarity of mind, and focus. It helps to cut through confusion by enabling us to see the "bigger picture" and to go with the flow. It helps us to feel at ease in social situations, and allows us to "shine our inner light". It can be a helpful teacher in areas of use and misuse of power. It helps us to understand the lessons to be learned and messages to be taken as we work through the ups and downs of the day. It is a powerful dream stone - place under the pillow at night to access information acquired in the dreamstate, and to bring these teachings back to use beneficially whilst in a conscious state. A stone for our spiritual journey, it enhances not only a connection to our own "inner sun", but also to the Great Central Sun, the core of Universal Consciousness and connection to All That Is.
Golden Labradorite connects powerfully to the Third Eye or Brow Chakra, where it works to enhance mental clarity and focus, and opens and activates our psychic abilities, clairvoyance and channeling. At the Solar Plexus Chakra, Golden Labradorite brings confidence and connection to that all-powerful "Inner Sun", enhancing self-confidence and self-belief.
Golden Labradorite has a masculine energy, and can be helpful in emphasising these dynamic qualites. Used in conjunction with moonstone, a balance of male and female energy is achieved - holding a piece of golden labradorite in one hand and a piece of moonstone in the other whilst meditating can be helpful, as can wearing a piece of jewellery which combines the two stones.
Golden Labradorite can be used to amazing effect either alone or in combination with moldavite, phenacite or azeztulite to further enhance spiritual development, or in combination with seraphinite to connect with the high vibrations of Angelic beings. It also combines well energetically with zincite, which helps to balance the lower chakras as the labradorite opens and activates the third eye.
Physically it helps to heal the stomach and digestive system, and all of the internal organs. A good stone to use during periods of detoxification as it helps to clear and cleanse the physical body.
As with all crystals, golden labradorite works best for you if you keep it close to you, allowing your energetic field to absorb the powerful energies of the crystal. This can be done by placing it on the chakra points, by holding in your hand whilst in meditation, by placing under the pillow during dreamwork, or by wearing on your person, perhaps as a piece of jewellery.
