Larvikite:-

Larvikite is an Igneous Rock, specifically a variety of Monzonite notable for the presence of thumbnail-sized crystals of Feldspar. It contains Nepheline Syenite, Plagioclase, Perthite, Anorthoclase, Anorthite, Ortholclase, and Albite and is usually rich in titanium.

This stone is usually dark grey, dark blue, or black in colour . It also usually has Nepheline or Quartz inclusions. Its name is derived from the place where this igneous rock was found. It originated from the Larvik Region of Norway. Larvikite occurs in the Larvik Batholith which is from the Permian age, forming about 292–298 million years ago. Larvikite is also found in the Killala Lake Alkalic Rock Complex near Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada. The crystallisation of a ternary feldspar indicates that this rock began to crystallise under lower crustal conditions.

Larvikite is also sometimes called Black Moonstone, even if it’s not actually a moonstone. It’s also called Birds Eye Granite, Pearlspar, Blue Pearl, Emerald Pearl, Norwegian Pearl Granite, or Blue Norwegian Moonstone.

The feldspar has partly unmixed on the micro-scale to form a Perthite, (an inter growth of two Feldspars) and the presence of the alternating Alkali Feldspar and Plagioclase layers give its characteristic silver blue sheen (Schiller effect,Labradoresence) on polished surfaces.

The crystallisation of a ternary feldspar indicates that this rock began to crystallise under lower crustal conditions. Larvikite is prized for its high polish and the labradorescence of its feldspar crystals, and is used as dimension stone, often cladding the facades of commercial buildings and corporate headquarters. It is known informally as Blue Pearl Granite, although this is not an accurate description.

Larvikite is a protective and grounding stone. It is cleansing to the subtle bodies and facilitates a strong connection with the energies of Earth, helping to connect with the spirits of Nature. Larvikite stimulates inner visions and enhances our psychic abilities. It allows us to see the past, providing clarity to visions of past life recall. Larvikite can neutralise and cancel spells that are no longer wanted. It repels negative energy. Larvikite increases our security in the strength of our own intellect, stimulates creativity and the exchange of wisdom. Larvikite helps us to see ourselves through the eyes of our higher self.  Larvikite teaches patience, and can support when completion and closure to a goal is required. It also helps us to understand and resolve complicated facts and to make decisions that are rational and sober and not based upon our emotions.

Larvikite assists the brain to take in new information more easily. It creates new pathways for knowledge to travel and can open new doors for us.  Larvikite can help to make us more adaptable to situations.

Because Larvikite is associated with the element of the earth, it can be used to help repel negative energies and is a great stone to wear or carry with you to protect against harmful energies that may be surrounding you. So if you find yourself needing to be in a place where the energy feels “off” such as a work environment that you have to be, but don’t like the energy – then Larvikite could be a useful tool for deflecting those energies.

Since larvikite stimulates the brain in such a way, it also lends itself towards tapping into our psychic abilities and our ability to travel through the dimensions of time. This can manifest itself in the manor of visions of past lives, connecting with Nature Spirits or helping us learn and connect with our higher self.
