Labradorite water is a trendy new drink that is not safe due to many reasons. Labradorite is a stone that contains many minerals. It can contain, among others: feldspar, pyroxene, magnetite, and more. These minerals are often poisonous when ingested or in contact with skin. Some of them can lead to cancer or damage your nervous system after long-term use of the stone.
Labradorite water is very popular among celebrities who love to drink cocktails with strange, new ingredients. The trend started in Canada and quickly spread over the USA. It goes by many names: Labradorite Water, Moonstone Water, even Lepidolite Water (which is another well-known poisonous stone).
Labradorite is actually an amphibole mineral with a hardness of 6 – 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means that it can scratch glass easily (Wikipedia). For someone who wants to drink labradorite water you need to understand that there could be risks to your health. Firstly, if you dissolve some labradorite stones in water it will become slightly acidic (corrosive) with a PH of about 4.5-4.7, which is the same PH as apple cider vinegar. If someone drinks this concoction they could get an upset stomach or even damage to their esophagus. The stones can also damage hardware that is used to make the water such as the filter, pitcher or machine.
Additionally, labradorite dust and powder (used in making jewelry and other items) may contain asbestos, which has been linked to mesothelioma, a cancer of the lungs and lining around the lungs.
Labradorite stone is also known to contain barium, which can cause vomiting. This is especially true if you look up labradorite stone in the metaphysical world and find old books about it because the stone was used for divination (fortune-telling), magic or ritual purposes. The stone contains aluminum hydroxide, fluorine, sodium, hydrogen, calcium, magnesium, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, potassium and sodium.
