Labradorite is named for where it was found in Labrador, a Canadian province on the Isle of Paul. Inuits once called labradorite a "fire stone" and would use powdered forms to help cure ailments. According to Inuit legend, a warrior saw the Northern Lights trapped in the rocks and struck them with his spear to free some of the lights. Labradorite is not exclusive to Canada, however, and can also be found in Mexico, Russia, and Finland.

Since its discovery, Labradorite has been a highly sought-after stone for use in jewelry.
