LARVIKITE PROPERTIES
 
- SPIRITUAL
Larvikite is a wise and protective stone. It cancels out dark magic and hexes, and repels all forms of negative energy. It cleanses our spiritual bodies of old energy that no longer serves us, including painful karma from past lives. 
 
Larvikite helps us to swiftly learn whatever lessons needed to be learned, and then to move forward peacefully. 
 
It inspires patience, compassion and a remarkably grounded common-sense. 
 
Larvikite teaches us how to see ourselves with the kind and sage eyes of our Highest Self. 
 
Larvikite reveals reality very clearly. It councils us to be careful not to believe everything we think and feel, without first testing it against Truth. 
It is a wonderful meditation tool, sharpening our mind’s focus and dismissing extraneous thoughts. It is also a powerful shaman stone, sharpening our inner visions, strengthening our psychic powers and protecting us during astral travels. 
Larvikite helps us to sense the presence of nature spirits and to reconnect to nature if we have gotten lost in the trappings of civilization.
 
- EMOTIONAL
Larvikite helps us process the past and release trauma and pain. 
It supports us when we desperately want closure. When closure is possible, it shows us the quickest way forward. When it isn’t possible, Larvikite holds us steady so that we can accept reality for what it is. 
 
Larvikite encourages us to be more emotionally-aware and in-control. It increases our awareness of our beliefs, conscious and unconscious, as well as our thoughts and emotions. Rather than trusting them implicitly, Larvikite helps us to test these mental musings against reality. If reality offers a different perspective, Larvikite helps us to shift into alignment with the truth. This re-alignment, may not always bring pleasure, but it will always bring clarity and from there, the surest path to long-term peace. 
 
Larvikite gives us gifts of self-confidence, self-reliance and resiliency. It reminds us that we are strong enough and capable enough to handle life’s challenges.

Larvikite stimulates our creativity, particularly when we are seeking realism in our creative work rather than abstraction. 
 
Larvikite focuses our mind and gives us mental strength when we need to intellectually perform. It aids in memory recall and helps us separate truth from fiction. 
 
Larvikite encourages us to make sane and sober decisions, rather than reacting rashly. It helps us to logically work our way out of tricky situations and to value truth more than comfort.
 
- PHYSICAL
Larvikite is recommended for problems associated with the physical brain. It can help us figure out how to work around and work with learning disabilities or learning differences. It reminds us that as long as we reach the end-goal, the specific path that took us there isn’t important. 
 
Larvikite is also supportive after a stroke or other brain injury. It offers comfort as we try to rebuild neural pathways or to find new workarounds. 
If we feel frustrated because our brain isn’t doing what we want it to do, Larvikite teaches patience, acceptance and helps us to focus on what we can control or affect.
 
Why is Larvikite irridescent?
Larvikite is an iridescent stone that sparkles and flashes when light moves across its surface. The proper geological term for this iridescence is schiller. It is caused by microscopic inclusions within a transparent mineral which refract and reflect light. 
One form of schiller effect is called labradorescence, named after the coloUrful mineral Labradorite. Larvikite’s iridescence is extremely similar to Labradorite’s, in fact the two are frequently mistaken for each other. In both cases, the microscopic inclusions that cause the flashing colours are due to a high presence of potassium within the minerals.
