"The Stone of Grounded Wisdom, Protection & Inner Transformation." ๐๐ก๏ธ
Larvikite is a striking dark grey crystal with beautiful flashes of silver and blue that shimmer in the light. Often called Norwegian Moonstone (although it is not a true Moonstone), Larvikite is valued for its grounding energy, protective qualities, and ability to encourage inner wisdom. It reminds us to trust our instincts, remain steady through change, and recognise the strength that comes from self-awareness.
๐ Where Does Larvikite Come From?
Larvikite is an igneous rock composed mainly of feldspar minerals. It was named after the town of Larvik in Norway, where it was first discovered.
Major sources include:
๐ณ๐ด Norway (the world's primary and finest source)
Although similar feldspar-rich rocks exist elsewhere, genuine Larvikite is almost exclusively quarried in Norway.
Its beautiful blue and silver flashes are caused by light reflecting within the feldspar crystals, creating a phenomenon similar to Labradorite, known as schiller.
