“What a curious feeling!' said Alice; `I must be shutting up like a telescope.'

And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; `for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, `in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.”

These Alice planchette moths are far smaller than the other moths in the collection (read more about them here). Conjoined, these tiny moths guard a tiny faceted gemstone: a jewel of protection for the things & feelings { both external & internal } that make us feel small, that shrink us down in size. I try to make peace with my contradictions {my conjoined sides}, the desire to be unseen/unknown reclusive and quiet, but at the same time, desirous of getting my work and writing out of myself and into the world. Small feelings > Big feelings & all the mess and hard-earned beauty in between.

Labradorite is known for its healing properties, in particular for its ability to relieve anxiety & melancholy. It is also said to be used to dispel negativity & fear, acting as a kind of psychic armor to protect against more troubling & turbulent emotions. As a 'sister' to moonstone, Labradorite is often associated with the more "darker" aspects of the Goddess, in her Crone form, full of the experience & wisdom of life and death, associated with the darker moon: waning through new moon phases. It is also a stone of transformation, and is said to help those with intuitive gifts to awaken and realize their full potential as well as helping enhance creative talents. It also ranks as one of the most protective stones, shielding its wearer from negativity. Much like its 'sister' Moonstone, Labradorite has been used and worn in many cultures and tribes for both its incredible natural beauty, and for its potent magical properties.

Please note that Labradorite is a natural stone so clarity and color will vary from stone to stone. Labradorite has natural lines and inclusions and varies greatly in shades of green and blue; from a teal to a more swampy green as well as light grey blue to a deep indigo. It is common for specimens to also have orange/brown "freckles."
