What is labradorite?
Labradorite is a plagioclase feldspar mineral known for its striking play of color, called labradorescence, in which flashes of blue, green and gold shimmer across a grey surface. It was first described in the late 1700s after being found on the Isle of Paul, Labrador, in Canada. In the jewelry trade, finer translucent grey material is sometimes sold as grey moonstone.
