It was born beneath the mountains of northern Labrador, more than a billion years ago. The rock they call Blue Eyes. Labradorite. A rock with a unique, captivating appeal.
The Inuit say the blue flecks buried in Labradorite were placed there by spirits. Over the years, the spirit of the rock itself has been exposed by many, in very different ways. Through jewelry, carvings, and the sheer love of its geology.

In the show we call "True Blue", you'll meet some of the people who've been touched by the spirit of Labradorite...and see the place it comes from. A land as mysterious and captivating as the rock itself.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
