Timeless Origins of Larvikite
Larvikite, often referred to as the “Norwegian Moonstone,” takes its name from the town of Larvik in southern Norway where it was first discovered. This igneous rock has pleased artisans and collectors alike since the early 19th century, renowned for its captivating labradorescence—a play of blues and silvers within its dark matrix. Historically, Larvikite was prized for its aesthetic and practical uses in sculpture and jewellery.

Legends and Lore Surrounding Larvikite
Traditionally, Larvikite is associated with protection and cleansing, believed to deflect negative energies and provide grounding. Folklore holds that it can strengthen courage and bring clarity to one’s mind. In some tales, the shimmering flashes within the stone are said to represent moonlight itself, capturing celestial energy that guides the wearer through darkness.

Healing Qualities Attributed to Larvikite
Many practitioners value Larvikite for its reputed calming and balancing properties. It is said to help release stress, promote introspection, and encourage a calm, centred mindset. Used in meditation or carried daily, Larvikite beads are thought to enhance vitality and foster a connection with inner wisdom.

Physical and Geological Characteristics
Larvikite belongs to the feldspar family and is known for its distinctive feldspar crystals that show a shimmering schiller effect. This gemstone rates approximately 6 on the MOHS hardness scale, making it robust enough for daily wear in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. It is predominantly sourced from Norway, where it forms large, crystalline masses.
