Labradorite

Labradorite comes from the mineral feldspar and has a hardness of 6 – 6 ½. Labradorite got its name from the Labrador Peninsula in Canada where it was discovered. This stone normally comes in gray to black however shows an iridescence or “play of color” in violet, blue, green, gold, orange, yellow and red. The iridescence is the result of light refracting within the stone. Labradorite is found in Canada, Australia, Costa Rica, Finland, Germany, Madagascar, Mexico, Norway, Russia and the United States.
