Larvikite

Its magnificent grey-black moonstone-like combination makes it very appealing to the eyes, and pleasant to behold. In the commercial and business industry, Larvikite is commonly referred to as Blue Pearl Granite, known for being high polished and labradorescent, one of the most prized feldspar crystals sold all over the world.

If you are planning to own a Larvikite, or if you already have one but do not know its value, let us help you know why this is a wonderful stone to add to your crystal’s corner. Here is your complete guide to making the most of your Larvikite.

Originally found in the Larvik Fjord Region of Norway, this igneous rock is found within the LPC (Larvik Plutonic Complex) in some part of the Oslo Rift. Its labradorite-like iridescence creates a ‘schiller effect’ from flashing colors (usually silver and blue) caused by its chemical compositions when hit by rays of light.

Larvikite is sometimes called ‘Black Moonstone’, ‘Black Labradorite’, or ‘Blue Pearl Granite’, by many people acquainted with gems and crystals. Because it comes from the Feldspar family, Larvikite is sometimes mistaken as a moonstone. However, it does not give off a pearly and opalescent glow (like that of a moonstone), rather, it flashes a combination of silver and blue sparkling schiller effect when hit with multiple lights.

Larvikite is also a powerful shaman stone, meaning it sees beyond what we perceive, and shows us the truth. Larvikite assists in our healing, and blocks the negative energies during our healing journey. It helps activate the Earth’s energies, and we can use that to our advantage.

Change is the only constant in life.

Heraclitus, Greek Philosopher

Change is constant and inevitable. With Larvikite, you will be able to increase your adaptability to change and abrupt alterations in life. As our circumstances and reality transition, our response should also be in accordance with it. Stay away from anxiety–the result of constant worry or fear of what the future will bring–using the power of Larvikite. We may not have control of the future but we can assess how we can act accordingly when it comes, and Larvikite can help us prepare our actions and reactions.

Larvikite promotes the free-flow attitude that we should all have. Living in the present and living through what life gives us is what this rare stone stimulates instead of living in fear and worry. Larvikite activates the Earth’s energy for us to stay grounded in our actions.

It is important to cleanse your crystal before charging them so they won’t bring any negative energy or attract unknown energy sources. Here are the ways to cleanse your Larvikite:

• Water

  As long as your rocks are not water-soluble and are durable enough (3+ on Mohs hardness), you may be able to put them in a bowl of lukewarm water to cleanse and charge the crystal. You may leave the crystal in the water for 2-10 hours. Cleansing and charging it overnight is a good way of doing it. Dry the stone with a soft and lint-free cloth to free it from dust or foreign objects that may stick to it.
