Labradorite

Labradorite is popular in jewelry making, particularly in rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Its unique play of colors, known as labradorescence, makes it a favorite for statement pieces. Labradorite is believed to have protective and healing properties. It's often used in crystal healing practices to enhance intuition and spiritual awareness. Beyond jewelry, labradorite is also used in decorative items such as carvings, beads, and cabochons. Occasionally, labradorite is used in the production of ceramics and glass, thanks to its feldspar content. Labradorite has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. This makes it moderately hard and suitable for various types of jewelry, though it should be handled with some care to avoid scratches and damage.
