Star of the North | Labradorite Star Altar Stone | 20.33 ct | Skadi’s Winter Frost

Gift Ready Luxury
Star of the the North, a five pointed labradorite star catches cobalt and teal light against a slate gray body, like a shard of night sky on your altar. The carved shape feels solid in the hand, with flashes of indigo and mossy gold that move as you tilt it. This is a piece for witches and dark feminine practitioners who work in the space between worlds and prefer their tools with gravity and gleam, not glitter.

Geological Information
Labradorite is a calcium sodium plagioclase feldspar, usually around An50 to An70 in composition, with the formula (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈ in the triclinic crystal system. It sits around 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which suits earrings and pendants and asks for mindful wear in rings. The classic labradorite fields along the Labrador coast belong to the Nain Plutonic Suite, a Mesoproterozoic anorthosite complex that crystallized roughly 1.3 billion years ago, while major sources in Madagascar and Finland draw from Proterozoic and Archean crust between about 2.0 and 0.8 billion years old. The iridescent flash, or labradorescence, comes from light interfering in exsolution lamellae that formed as the feldspar slowly cooled inside those ancient intrusions, so on the body and on the altar you work with billion year old crust that still throws fresh color when the light hits it.

I do not offer reshaping or carving changes on this piece. For a precise, long term display that suits your space, I strongly recommend working with a trusted local jeweler, lapidary, or woodworker for stands, mounts, or custom settings; they usually complete small alterations quickly and at relatively low cost.

Energetic and Ritual Uses:
Labradorite is a classic ally for threshold work, shielding, and intuitive focus. You use it to hold the line between your energy and everyone else’s, especially when the world feels loud and demanding. Witches and dark feminine practitioners lean on labradorite when they move through liminal work, dream craft, journeying, and any magic that bends probability at the edges. This star does not fix your life, it steadies your field so you decide what enters, what leaves, and what transforms.

Suggested workings:

• Place the star at the north or center of your altar to anchor protection and boundary wards for your home or working space.

• Hold it in your palm during divination, journaling, or strategy sessions to focus intuitive information into clear, actionable choices.

• Rest it on a written sigil or petition related to shielding, discernment, or energetic cleanup, then tap the points as you speak your intent.

• Set it beside your bed or under the frame, not under your pillow, for dream work that needs clarity, protection, and recall.

Optional Add On Ritual Services:
You may choose additional ritual work for this piece at checkout.

Custom Incantation Card:
Name your focus, such as clarity, protection, courage, grief tending, sustainable work, or desire. I craft a short custom incantation in plain working language that ties this labradorite star, its liminal nature, and your chosen focus into one spoken spell. The words arrive handwritten on a small basil seeded paper card, ready for your altar, mirror, or jewelry box, meant to be spoken whenever you work with or handle the stone.

Ritual Charging:
I place the star on my working altar, name it for you, and charge it in line with your stated intention. Candle flame, focused breath, and sound shape the working so the stone holds a clear energetic assignment when it reaches you. The physical materials do not change; the labradorite and any future setting remain exactly as described.

Ritual and Incantation Bundle:
This option combines both the ritual charging and the custom incantation card. Your star carries focused altar work toward your chosen aim, and you receive a precise phrase to use in your own practice. Ritual work supports your craft and your decisions, it does not guarantee outcomes, override consent, or replace the real world actions that only you control.

Living With Your Carved Stone

Physical care:
Labradorite is a feldspar with a bright internal flash that benefits from gentle handling. Keep the star away from abrasive surfaces and hard knocks to protect its polish and the integrity of the points. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after handling, and avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or extreme heat. Store it in the box or a soft pouch when not in use so the surface does not pick up unnecessary scratches from other tools or stones.

Energetic care:
To clear and reset the star, rest it near a small dish of salt, on clean soil in a plant you trust, or where it receives indirect sunlight or soft moonlight through a window. When you pick it up or set it down, take one steady breath and name what you are asking it to hold or release. A single line spoken the same way each time is enough to keep the working clear. You decide how this stone participates in your craft, and you are always free to rename its task as your practice evolves.

Packaging and Personal Touches:
Every order includes a 1 oz YuleWind body butter sample, a proprietary aromatic essential oil blend that evokes a winter morning by the ocean, evergreen light, and a yule hearth, with a retail value of 14 dollars. You also receive a handwritten thank you note on basil seeded handmade paper that can be planted, sealed with wax. The star arrives nestled in a black jewelry box with crinkle cut paper and tissue wrapping so it opens like a small altar. Selantris Velcryn designs the unboxing to feel like opening a spell kit created specifically for you.
