It can also calm your mind and fuel your imagination which can lead to new ideas and insights. These ideas will come to fruition through analysis and your rational mind.

Your newly cleared mind can easily pierce illusions, not just those of others, but more importantly illusions you hold yourself. These illusions are holding you back and shattering them, while bringing some pain in the short term, will bring about positive change in your life.

As labradorite calms your mind it will bring balance to your life. Allowing you to work better with other people and let go of your ego. In some people it will bring out their inner child, granting them a renewed sense of wonder and happiness.

Another meaning of labradorite is that as a stone of luck. It can pull good fortune in your direction if you wear it in a pendant. For the best effect it should be in direct contact with your skin.
