HISTORY OF LABRADORITE
Originating from the Labrador region in Canada, labradorite was discovered by Moravian missionaries in 1770 who were there to work with certain indigenous peoples, namely the Inuit. They had the task of evangelizing them. The Innus (Montagnais-Naskapis) and the Inuit believed that labradorite was nothing more and nothing less than a fiststone originating from the northern and southern auroras on the planet. According to them, it had been frozen by the cold at its peak and then fallen back to the ground. Labradorite is named after the geologist Foster, who first called it that in 1780. He simply chose this name as a reference to his place of discovery, the
the Canadian region of Labrador.
