How to work with this crystal

Larvikite is an igneous rock from the Larvik region of Norway, composed largely of feldspar crystals that display a blue or silver schiller when light hits at certain angles.
Polished slabs and cabochons show floating, firework-like flashes against a charcoal base, making it popular for jewellery, countertops and decorative objects.
With feldspar hardness and structure it is sturdy enough for many everyday-wear pieces so long as they are treated with reasonable care. In crystal symbolism, larvikite is associated with protection, focus and grounded modern magic—the quiet ability to stay present, perceptive and energetically contained in busy environments.
People may work with it when they want to filter distractions, maintain healthy boundaries and keep a sense of wonder without losing touch with practical reality.

Care & Handling ›

Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or box compartment so chains and stones do not rub or tangle.
Avoid keeping jewelry in bathrooms or other humid spots; store in a dry, cool place away from direct heat.
After each wear, gently wipe jewelry with a soft, dry cloth before putting it back into storage.
Take jewelry off for sports, workouts, heavy lifting and housework to avoid dents, chips and deformation.
Do not leave jewelry in hot cars, near windows or heaters for long periods; store in a cool, shaded place.
For water-safe jewelry, soak briefly in lukewarm water with mild soap, brush softly, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

What kinds of environments or interactions tend to drain my energy the most? How can I create clearer energetic or time boundaries in busy spaces? Where has my intuition quietly guided me in helpful ways in the past? What small practices help everyday life feel a little more meaningful or "magical" to me?

I am allowed to filter what I take in from my environment. My attention can rest on what is truly important right now. I listen to subtle nudges and perceptions without abandoning practicality. I can bring a grounded, quietly magical presence into ordinary days.

Can larvikite go in water? ›

Brief contact with clean, lukewarm water is usually fine for larvikite.
Avoid long soaks in hot tubs, chlorinated pools or salt water, as they can dull the surface or affect settings over time.
After any quick rinse, dry the jewelry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing or wearing it again.

If its look and story resonate with you, it's a good match regardless of your chart.

Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or very strong midday sunlight for long periods, as those can affect the colour or surface over time.
