Labradorite is a Canadian gemstone that comes from several places in Newfoundland, including Tabor Island, Cornerbrook, and various parts of Labrador.  It has also been found in the Canadian North West Territories and Nunavut.  It is sometimes used by the Inuit people of Canada’s north but not often, as it is a hard stone to work with.  It is a chatoyant stone (colors flash on different angles), usually blue and green with pinks, yellows, purples, and other colors on occasion.  Good labradorite will have a bright flash or play of colors when turned different angles.

Labradorite is a form of plagioclase feldspar; it is closely related to moonstone.
