Labradorescence and adventure: the characteristics of Labradorite a mysterious gem with wonderful reflections!
La labradorite it is a mineral, one of the main ones found in igneous igneous rocks with a low silica content. Sometimes, tubular-shaped crystals are found in igneous rocks. It can be found in compact blocks or in granular masses. Its discovery in the second half of the 700th century is due to a Moravian missionary in Labrador (the area from which it takes its name), in northeastern Canada. The most common type of labradorite is blue-green color. The most important deposits of labradorite with the greater labradorescence they are found in Finland, gray or black Labradorite is instead extracted in Madagascar, Russia and Ukraine, uncommon stones in Australia and a transparent type in India. On the other hand, specimens of labradorite with adventuration due to the presence of copper. The crystalline system of this stone is tricline. It's about a variety anorthite, which is a silicate of calcium and aluminum, white-pink and shiny like glass. The charm of this stone comes from a very particular e iridescent play of colors, an optical effect due to the refraction of light which, bouncing off very small fractures of the crystal, creates flashes of various colors. To create the iridescence, therefore, it is not the light reflected on the surface of the stone, but come on light rays entering the stone. This effect that enchants the human eye was said labradorescence by Bøggild, a Danish professor of mineralogy. The iridescence changes according to the angle of the light and the position of the observer.
Various types of labradorite: white, spectrolite, black moonstone, Oregon sunstone.
Not all of them stones di labradorite have labradorescence. Other types have some kind of shimmer and shine metallic and give others optical effects, for example the adventure. The latter is due to small plates positioned in the stone, which like gods mirrors, reflecting the light, they create an intense and brilliant sparkle. There labradorite it is a fairly delicate stone, it has one medium hardness; it could even scratch or flake if not worked with the utmost care. Its brilliance can be glassy or pearly and can range from translucent to transparent.

Other types of labradorite they are the 'black moonstone', the rainbow moonstone of Madagascar, which has a lively bluish iridescence. Then there is also the sun stone Oregon, without labradorescence, but rich in copper, which creates an effect of great brightness.

If in the sunlight the stone acquires blue and metallic reflections it is labradorite, if the reflection is clear and the background rather white it is the moonstone. This is why there are chemical analyzes, X-ray diffraction and other tests to verify if they are really labradorite gems.
