Labradorite Crystal Meaning
In terms of spar healing, the rainbow color of the labradorite protects the wearer’s aura like a reflective shield. When you feel that your energy reserves will be artificially reduced, wearing labradorite will alleviate this situation. A common side effect of the healing process is that people close to you will feel changes in your behavior, and others may comment that you have become less intimate or alienated than before. Of course, this stage will pass as the energy circulation between you and others becomes balanced.
