Labradorite has always carried a certain magic, and the lion amplifies it. Strength, intuition, protection. This piece doesn't just sit on a shelf.

To cleanse energetically, place it in moonlight overnight. Labradorite loves lunar energy and responds beautifully to it. You can also use sound (singing bowls, bells) or a brief pass through sage or palo santo smoke. Avoid prolonged water exposure, as it can dull the surface over time. To recharge, set it near selenite or leave it under a full moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this real labradorite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
