What is Labradorite?
Labradorite is a plagioclase feldspar whose grey body suddenly flashes peacock blue, gold, green or orange when turned in the light. This play of colour, called labradorescence, comes from light reflecting between very thin internal layers.
Named after Labrador in Canada, most labradorite today comes from Madagascar; the full-spectrum variety from Finland is called spectrolite.
