There are many kinds of turtles that come in varying sizes, colours and live in very different environments. As a species they are incredibly old, dating back to the late Jurassic era. Some live on land, some live in water. They all breathe air and they all lay eggs on land. Spiritually they represent long life, patience, protection, determination, balance, wisdom. They inspire one to slow down, think and reflect. They are also considered to be very good luck. ~*Labradorite*~ Labradorite was first found in Labrador, Canada which is where it got its name from. Often has an iridescent optical effect in varying shades of blue, green, yellow and orange known as labradorescence. The more labradorescence, the rarer the stone is considered to be. Along with Labrador, this stone can also be found in Australia, Germany, Costa Rica, US, etc. Referred to as a Stone of Magic because it is tied to mysticism, occult and magic. *Spiritual Benefits* *known to bring and enhance your magical abilities to the surface *enhances mental and intuitive abilities of clairvoyance, telepathy, communication with spirit and psychic/tarot readings; opens a gateway between our world and the spiritual world *powerful protector and purifier of the aura, prevents energy leak and prevents others from being able to tap into your energy *Emotional Benefits* *brings about spontaneity, creativity and energy to the user *brings clarity to thoughts and increases intuitive wisdom *banishes fears and insecurity *Physical Benefits* *can aid in detoxifying the body *beneficial to lungs and can help with respiratory problems *can be soothing during menstruation and for pain relief in general *To Cleanse* Over time, water can wear this stone down so use any other cleansing method.
