Labradorite

description Labradorite Overview

Labradorite is a calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar mineral valued for labradorescence, an optical effect in which internal reflections produce shifting blue, green, yellow, or other colors as the stone moves relative to light. It occurs in igneous rocks such as anorthosite and is used as an ornamental stone and gemstone. The mineral was first described from the Labrador region of Canada, with an early discovery reported on the Isle of Paul in 1770.
