LABRADORITE (CaAl2 Si2 O8)
Labradorite is a fascinating, beautiful mineral the charm of which is not fully noticed (and may be overlooked) if not viewed from the proper position. It's generally a dull, dark looking mineral with no special virtue until the colorful shiller (refraction plane) is observed glowing on the surface. Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections called labradorescence. The usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges. Some rare specimens display all these colors simultaneously.
