Labradorite is a stunning feldspar mineral known for its remarkable play of color, often referred to as "labradorescence." This optical phenomenon results in flashes of blue, green, gold, and sometimes even red and purple, depending on the angle of light and the thickness of the material. The iridescence is caused by the scattering of light within the layers of the mineral, creating vibrant hues that shift as the stone moves. Labradorite was first discovered in Labrador, Canada, but it can also be found in places like Madagascar, Finland, and Russia. Labradorite has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for various types of jewelry, though care should be taken to avoid scratches.
