Labradorite is a type of feldspar mineral that exhibits a phenomenon called labradorescence, which is a colorful iridescence that occurs when light hits the stone from certain angles. Labradorite is named after Labrador, Canada, where it was first discovered in 1770.

Labradorite is associated with magic, spirituality, transformation, protection, and intuition. It is said to enhance one's mental and psychic abilities and to connect one with higher realms of consciousness. Labradorite is also a powerful protector of the aura and a stone of self-discovery.

Copper wire wrapped pendants are a beautiful way to showcase your favorite stones and beads. They can also add a rustic charm to your jewelry collection. However, copper can tarnish over time and lose its shine. Here are some tips on how to care for your copper wire wrapped pendants and keep them looking their best.

- Clean your copper jewelry regularly with a soft cloth or a gentle cleaner. You can make your own cleaner at home by mixing baking soda and water into a paste, or by using vinegar and salt, lemon juice and salt, or ketchup. Rub the cleaner gently on the copper surface and rinse well with water. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the copper or the stones.

- Protect your copper jewelry from moisture, air, and sunlight. These elements can speed up the oxidation process and make your copper jewelry dull and dark. Store your copper jewelry in a sealed plastic bag with an anti-tarnish strip, or in a jewelry box lined with anti-tarnish cloth. You can also apply a thin layer of wax polish, such as Renaissance wax, to create a protective barrier on the copper surface.

- Enjoy your copper jewelry and wear it often. The natural oils from your skin can help prevent tarnishing and give your copper jewelry a warm glow. You can also polish your copper jewelry with a soft cloth or a polishing pad to restore its shine. However, avoid wearing your copper jewelry when swimming, bathing, or exercising, as chlorine, sweat, and soap can damage the copper or the stones.
