16mm Labradorite Gemstone Tip in Brass Setting

This 16mm Labradorite gemstone tip in a brass setting captures the transformative beauty described in Scripture. In Exodus 24:10, the elders of Israel saw 'under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity'—labradorite's characteristic flash of color, known as labradorescence, evokes this celestial vision with its play of blues, greens, and golds dancing across the stone's surface.

Biblical Context: The transformation of light within labradorite mirrors the spiritual transformation described throughout Scripture. In 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are told we 'are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another'—just as light transforms within the layers of labradorite, revealing hidden beauty. The stone's iridescent display reminds us of God's promise in Genesis 9:13, 'I have set my rainbow in the clouds,' a covenant of divine presence and protection.

Geological Properties:

• Mineral composition: Calcium-sodium plagioclase feldspar ((Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈)
• Crystal system: Triclinic
• Mohs hardness: 6-6.5
• Specific gravity: 2.68-2.72
• Optical phenomenon: Labradorescence caused by light interference within microscopic lamellar intergrowths of different feldspar compositions
• Color flash: Blue, green, gold, orange, and occasionally violet or red
• Setting: Brass (copper-zinc alloy) provides warm contrast to the stone's cool iridescence

Geographic Origin: Named after Labrador, Canada, where it was first discovered in 1770. Premium specimens are also sourced from Madagascar, Finland, Russia, and Australia. The finest labradorite displays a full spectrum of color flash across the stone's surface.

Reflexology and Meridian Applications: The 16mm size is ideal for working specific reflex points and meridian pathways. Use on hand and foot reflexology points corresponding to organs and body systems. Apply gentle pressure with circular motions to stimulate energy flow. For meridian work, trace along the body's energy channels—particularly effective on the Lung, Heart, and Pericardium meridians on the arms, and the Stomach, Spleen, and Kidney meridians on the legs. The brass setting provides excellent conductivity for vibrational energy transfer when paired with tuning fork frequencies. The stone's labradorescence is believed to enhance energetic sensitivity during meridian balancing and reflexology sessions.

Care Instructions: Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly, especially around the brass setting. Polish brass periodically with a soft cloth to maintain luster. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Store in a dry location to prevent tarnishing of the brass setting.
