Labradorite is a member of the Feldspar family and is treasured for its remarkable play of color. Labradorite is usually found in gray-green, dark gray, black or grayish-white colors is composed in aggregate layers that refract light as iridescent flashes of peacock blue, gold, pale green, or a coppery red. The predominant blue varies within the light, displaying hues from deepest blue to various shades of pale to an almost blue-green. Labradorite was discovered in Labrador, Canada, by Moravian missionaries in 1770 who named the gemstone for the area and it also became a popular gem in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Rarer varieties of Labradorite include Golden Labradorite, a transparent gold or champagne-color, and Spectrolite, an intense variety displaying the entire color spectrum, discovered in Finland in the 1940’s.
