Labradorite is a feldspar mineral, known for its iridescent optical effect, or labradorescence, displaying vibrant colors like blue, green, and gold when viewed from different angles. It forms in igneous rocks, primarily gabbro and basalt, through slow crystallization of magma deep within the Earth's crust, often in layered intrusions. Its composition includes sodium, calcium, aluminum, and silicon. Labradorite is associated with transformation, intuition, and protection in various cultural beliefs, often used in jewelry and spiritual practices for its striking appearance and perceived metaphysical properties.
