Rock Week Day 4 - Labradorite

~*{Lightning at Dawn, $49 at Kasiablue}*~

***********************************************************************

Ah, here we are again, back with a new found favorite...Labradorite.  This stone is simply enchanting.  I love the fact that it looks unassuming and dark, almost lackluster, then POW! it shocks you with a brilliant flash of blue, green, yellow and red.  I call it the stone of the unexpected just because of this magical quality.  This feldspar based stone is named after the region that it was first foundin the Labrador Peninsula of Canada.  It's brilliant flashes of layered color is called labradoresence and it simply, totally can mesmerize your soul.
Labradorite's element is Wind and it is beneficial to all of the chakras.
A little bit about Labradorite:
The gem labradorite has been associated with magic, awakening one's magical powers when worn or used in manifestation.  This powerful stone helps one to see time elements in the form of past, present and future, allowing for cross over int o different realms.  Labradorite is also a very protective stone.  It creates a somewhat of a "force field" throughout the aura, shielding the wearer from those who would tap into and drain your energy.  The first "high end" piece of jewelry that I made for myself contained a mix of labradorite, andalusite, kyanite and smoky quartz.  Upon wearing it out in public for the first time, I felt very strange, almost as if I had a barrier around me (no lie!) and found it very hard to intereact with many of the other people that had attended the function that day.  It was only later on that I discovered, after some research,  that the labradorite force field was in full effect! (along with some grounding  and balancing).  I didn't know about the magnificent power of gemstones until that day, but boy, do they work!
Labradorite also assists us in filling the void, so to speak...somewhat of filling in the blank when we ask all of those deep metaphysical questions.  It also helps healers to see disease patterns and brings forth a higher awareness to the soul by accessing the full visualization capability of the third eye. 

I hope that you have enjoyed this installment of rock week!  Tomorrow...Peace Rocks!

I truly have to say that I have a problem. I'm admitting it! I don't understand it, but I could look and play with my gemstones all day long. Seriously! These pics are from my recent trip to a trade show for all us gemmy gals (and guys) that can't get enough of pretty little rocks. So, I'm sending out a little sneek peak at my fall/winter collection and...the inspiration for my catalog. There it is in writing...my catalog. Does that make me official?

I was reading my friend Gracie's blog tonight and something that she said really struck home. We are always looking for the answers, for someone to make the decision for us. To make things better, to choose our paths in life, to tell us what is right and what is wrong.

But, guess what?

We are the ultimate answer to everything that we are looking for.

We make the choices.

We put up the obstacles.

We are our own worst enemy.

We are the heroes.

We are everything that we want to be, and then some.

So stop listening to everyone else(including the voices in your head)...and be you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that you love the trinkets as much as I do. Someone has to share my obsession with me, you know!
