Labradorite

Labradorite is a member of the Feldspar group. Its iridescent coloring ranges from yellow-orange to blue-green when moved around under light. This play of color is known as the “Schiller Effect” by gemologists. Labradorite displaying this effect is rare to find. Labradorite was first identified at Paul Island, Labrador, by Moravian missionaries in 1770, hence deriving its name from this locality.
