Toad or Frog Labradorite Stone Carving
This Labradorite stone frog or toad figurine carving is just 2.25 inches long by 2 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick.
Labradorite has an background color of dark gray, but it displays a beautiful iridescence, giving off rainbow-colored reflections known as labradorescence when light hits it in certain directions - this is quite stunning and it is one of those stones that initially can appear a bit uninteresting until it is turned this way or that.
Labradorite is a feldspar and Labradorite shows the iridescent display of colors due to minute inclusions of another mineral.
It is named after Labrador, Canada, although this piece, and a lot of gem grade material, comes from Madagascar.
Metaphysical Properties of Labradorite: Labradorite is thought by some to symbolize the moon and the sun, and in fact has been found to be an ingredient of moon rock. It is said to assist the wearer to handle changes, promoting strength and perseverance.
The Frog represents healing, cleansing, health, and honesty. In myths they are bringers of rain or thunder, calling the water down with their croaking.
In Ancient China toads were a symbol of longevity, and they were associated with Liu Hai, the God of wealth. In Rome, the frog or toad was believed to bring good luck to the home.
