This is world-class Papillon Labradorite from Madagascar, named for the way the flash spreads across the surface like butterfly wings. Papillon means butterfly, and once you see this material in the light, the name makes perfect sense. The colour seems to open and close as you move it.
The flashes are exceptionally vibrant and layered. Electric blues flow into teals, golds and yellows, with unexpected pops of pinks, purples and soft oranges appearing as the angle changes. The colour movement is wide, expressive and alive. This is Labradorite that performs across the whole face.
Papillon Labradorite is prized for its clarity of flash and complexity of colour. It is the kind of Labradorite people refer to when they talk about the very best material coming out of Madagascar.
Energetically, this feels perfectly aligned with Year 1 and new beginnings. Papillon Labradorite works on intuition, insight and inner vision, but with an added sense of confidence and momentum. It does not just help you see what is forming. It helps you trust it. This is a crystal for those ready to step into change.
This is a piece to work with consciously. Sit with it. Let your eyes follow the movement of colour. Ask what wants to unfold next and allow the answer to arrive in its own way. Like the butterfly, this Labradorite reminds us that transformation is not rushed, but when it comes, it is unmistakable.
