Labradorite Wire Wrapped Point, Set of 5

Five wire-wrapped points. Enough to anchor the corners of a grid, or to hang, gift, and keep.

Hand-wrapped cages. The stone is held rather than drilled, so each piece stays intact and each wrap is a little its own.

The flash. Blue, gold, or green depending on the angle, which is the whole point of the stone.

• Set of 5 labradorite points, each in a hand-wrapped wire cage
• Note: labradorite is a feldspar and can chip along its cleavage planes; handle gently
• Flash, shade, and size vary piece to piece; no two wraps are identical
• Cord or chain not included
• SKU: JWPLAB5

The flash is the whole story, and it is genuinely a physical thing: light entering the stone bounces between microscopic internal layers and comes back out as color that was never in the pigment. The mineral was named in the 1770s after Labrador, where Moravian missionaries first collected it, and an Inuit legend holds that the northern lights were once trapped in the rocks of that coast until a man struck them free with his spear, leaving some behind in the stone.

Labradorite has no entry in Cunningham or the older folk sources, so we leave its element and planet blank rather than inventing them. What modern crystal practice has made of it follows the flash: a stone kept for intuition and for what stays hidden until the light hits it right. Judy Hall places it at the third eye. A set of five suits grid work, where points are the standard directional form, or simply gives you four to give away and one to keep.

1. Cleanse them on arrival with smoke or moonlight; skip salt and long soaking, since feldspar dislikes both.
2. Set them as a grid, points outward or inward depending on whether you are sending or drawing.
3. Hang one from a cord of your own, since none is included.
4. Keep one where light moves across it through the day; that is when the flash appears.
5. Handle them gently and store them apart from harder stones.

• Labradorite Tumbled Stones, 1 lb, 1-2": the same stone by the pound, to fill the grid the points anchor.
• Labradorite Rough Wire Cage Pendant: the same wrap, in a single rough piece.
• Lemurian Mini Quartz Points, 1 lb: quartz points to amplify the grid.
• White Selenite Wand: the cleansing companion for a shelf of stones.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse.

What causes the flash?

Light bouncing between microscopic layers inside the stone, an optical effect called labradorescence. It is not pigment; the color is made by the structure.

Why five?

Grid work. Five points let you anchor a working with a direction at each corner and one at the center, which is the most common small-grid layout.

Do they come with chains?

No. Each point is wire-wrapped and ready to hang, but no cord or chain is included.

What does practice keep it for?

Intuition, and for what stays hidden until the light hits it right. These are modern crystal attributions; labradorite has no entry in Cunningham, so we assign it no element or planet. Hall places it at the third eye.

Will they look like the photo?

Closely, but the flash, shade, and wrap vary piece to piece, so each set is its own.
