Labradorite is a gorgeous form of feldspar named after the stunning labradorescence it displays. It can have a large mix of colors present, and it lights up while turning slowly at the right angle, similar to the Schiller effect. The stunning effect is caused by lamellar twinning inside the crystals, which causes a unique refraction of light within them, lighting them up in the display you see. Feldspar is an Aluminum Tectosilicate, a crystal byproduct of high silica magma.

Photos are generally taken wet to simulate what a polish may look like.

I do my best to represent the stones with photos. I don't enhance pictures, though sometimes brightness and contrast on monitors may differ, and while an image may look just like the rock on my end, it will sometimes appear brighter or duller on your end. I run my monitor using the default brightness and contrast settings. All rough photos are generally taken wet with water unless otherwise specified.
