Comfort Precious Stone keepsake urn labradorite

Light that moves, even in stillness

Some stones you pick up and find yourself reluctant to put down. Labradorite is one of them. In the right light, it opens into a shifting play of green, blue, gold, orange, red and violet, as though illuminated from within. This is labradorescence: not a coating or a treatment, but an optical effect that lives deep in the structure of the stone itself. It is entirely natural, and entirely remarkable.

A memorial stone that holds a keepsake

This labradorite keepsake urn is both a beautiful object and a place of safekeeping. Set within the stone is a small stainless steel tube, sealed with a fine stainless steel screw, which can hold a small portion of cremation ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from a grave. The stone carries a specific, literal memory, not just a symbolic one. Compact enough to slip into a handbag, it can be with you whenever you want it close.

Sharing the memory with others who loved them

A loss touches more than one person. Because ashes can be divided, several people can each hold their own labradorite stone, a partner, a child, a close friend, each with their own piece of what was shared. The symbolism of labradorite fits this naturally. The stone is associated with connection through individuality, the idea that people remain bound to one another even from their own separate places. That is exactly what this kind of sharing makes possible.

Practical guidance for everyday use

Labradorite is a hard natural stone and holds up well to daily handling. The one area that calls for care is sealing the reservoir correctly.

Closing the screw correctly

The stainless steel screw should be tightened until the reservoir is closed, then stopped. Over-tightening can push the cap into the reservoir, making it impossible to retrieve or reopen. Once closed, the screw can be sealed with adhesive or silicone for a lasting, secure finish. Take your time with this step; it only needs doing once.

Natural stone: unique by nature

Because labradorite is a natural material, the colours and character of each stone differ from the photographs shown. No two pieces are identical in pattern, tone or the way the light moves across them. This is not a limitation. It means the stone you receive exists only once, in exactly that form, for exactly this person.
