Labradorite
Geological Information
Labradorite is a mineral that belongs to the feldspar group.
It is typically found in igneous rocks such as basalt, gabbro, and anorthosite.
Labradorite crystals have a unique optical quality called labradorescence, which causes them to display a spectrum of colours when viewed from different angles.
This effect is caused by the reflection and refraction of light within the crystal lattice.
