Labradorite is a type of feldspar, like moonstone, known for its labradorescence: a metallic optical effect of blues and greens that shifts across different crystal planes. It was named for the Labrador Peninsula in Canada, where it was identified in the 1700's, though it had been used thousands of years earlier by the Red Paint People of Maine. Inuit legend tells that the Northern Lights were once trapped within the rocks along the coast of Labrador, giving labradorite its luminous glow.
