Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Stone
|
||
|
||
At rest, Labradorite looks like nothing much — a dull, dark grey feldspar, easy to pass over in a tray of brighter stones. Then it is tilted toward the light and something extraordinary happens: a sudden flash of peacock blue, electric green, gold, and violet swims up from within, an effect so distinctive that mineralogists named it labradorescence after the Canadian coast where the stone was first gathered. The flash is not on the surface but beneath it, thrown back by fine internal layers that split light like oil on water.
|
||
|
||
That hidden fire is the whole character of the stone. It keeps its magic concealed until the angle is right, and it seems to reward attention — a mineral that will not give itself to a careless glance.

## Properties
|
||
|
||
Labradorite is the stone of magic and transformation, the companion of anyone crossing a threshold between one self and the next. It opens the [third eye](/knowledge/chakras/ajna) to intuition, synchronicity, and the perception of what lies just beneath the ordinary surface of things. Its most prized quality is protection: it is said to form a shield around the aura, sealing the wearer against energy leakage and the draining pull of other people, which makes it a favourite of empaths and those doing intuitive work.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
Labradorite is worn or carried through periods of change and used in meditation to deepen intuition and dreamwork. Practitioners hold it when they wish to strengthen the aura before entering crowded or demanding spaces. It cleanses well in moonlight and pairs naturally with stones of the upper centres. Keep it where the light can move across it — the flash is part of the medicine.
