Labradorite 8mm Round (A) - 8-InchLabradorite is remarkable for the way its aggregate layers refract light, creating iridescent flashes of blue, gold, pale green or copper red. This effect is known as labradorescence, taking its name from the stone. Labradorite is usually gray green, dark gray, light gray or black.
