 | "Labradorite is truely a fascinatingly beautiful mineral. Its a mineral whose charm is not fully noticed and may be overlooked if not viewed from the proper position. Generally a dull, dark looking mineral with no special virtue until the colorful shiller is observed glowing on the surface. Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections called labradorescence. The usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges. Some rare specimens display all these colors simultaneously. The color display is from lamellar intergrowths inside the crystal. The labradorescence is truely a one of a kind mineralogical experience and must be observed in person in order to truely appreciate its beauty. Mystic lore: Labradorite is said to represent the temple of the stars. It assists one in sustaining and maintaining, while providing for the understanding of the destiny one has chosen. It helps one to facilitate transformations which are beneficial." Location: Maniry Mine, Southern Region, near Ampanihy, Madagascar
