Labradorite

Q: What is Labradorite made of?

Labradorite has the chemical formula (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)₄O₈, crystallises in the triclinic (plagioclase feldspar) system and measures 6 – 6.5 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. The characteristic 'labradorescence' is a lamellar optical effect: thin alternating layers of high- and low-calcium feldspar (Bøggild intergrowth) diffract light in the 400–560 nm range, producing the metallic peacock sheen. It is a structural color, not a pigment - turn the stone, and the flash vanishes.
