Labradorite is a plagioclase Feldspar with Albite. It's optical phenomenon is called Adularescence (or Labradorescence). It was first discovered on the Isle of Paul in Labrador, Canada (Labrador, Newfoundland) around 1770. The color's iridescence of blue, green, orange, purple, red and/or yellow are due to light interference by thin parallel layers (lamellae). [mindat] Labradorite has even been found in some meteorites!
Eskimo lore has it that the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador. A wandering Eskimo warrior found them and was able to free most of the lights with a mighty blow of his spear. Some of the lights were still trapped within the stone, and so we have the beautiful mineral known as Labradorite.
