A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 5700 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The silicates are the most abundant and chemically complex group of minerals. All silicates have silica as the basis for their chemistry. "Silica" refers to SiO2 chemistry. The fundamental molecular unit of silica is one small silicon atom surrounded by four large oxygen atoms in the shape of a triangular pyramid - this is the silica tetrahedron - SiO4. Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, so only half of the four oxygens "belong" to each silicon. The resulting formula for silica is thus SiO2, not SiO4.
The simplest & most abundant silicate mineral in the Earth's crust is quartz (SiO2). All other silicates have silica + impurities. Many silicates have a significant percentage of aluminum (the aluminosilicates).
Feldspar is a group of common silicate minerals. Feldspars are silicate minerals having one-fourth of all the silicons in SiO2 replaced by aluminum (Si4O8 to (Si3Al)O8). When this happens, the (Si3Al)O8 has a -1 electric charge. The charge is satisfied by the addition of one or more metals. The (Si3Al)O8- structure has relatively large holes, and the only metals that tend to stay in these holes are: K (potassium), Na (sodium), Ca (calcium), Cs (cesium), Ba (barium), Sr (strontium), and Pb (lead). Of these, K & Na & Ca are the most common metals that enter the matrix. Sometimes, several different metals enter the structure, resulting in "garbage can minerals".
Chemical analyses of feldspars show that they range in composition from K-feldspar to Na-feldspar and from Na-feldspar to Ca-feldspar. Mineralogists have thus established two "families" of feldspars. There is no chemical gradient between K-feldspar and Ca-feldspar.
The sodium- and calcium-feldspars are called plagioclase ("plag" for short). Six different mineral names are available for the plagioclase feldspars: albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, and anorthite. Albite is ~pure sodium feldspar (NaAlSi3O8) and anorthite is ~pure calcium feldspar (CaAl2Si2O8). The other mentioned minerals are plagioclase feldspars having a mix of sodium and calcium. The pure end-members are whitish-colored. The plagioclase feldspars having a mix of sodium and calcium tend to be light gray to dark gray to mottled gray. Some have a spectacular play of color.
Seen here is a polished piece of labradorite plagioclase showing iridescent colors. This property is called labradorescence. Gem-quality samples are called spectrolite.

I've had these beads/stones laying around for a while and I thought I should finally put them to use!
this one is a custom sterling silver setting, using my customer's gorgeous blue flash labradorite stone ....
This large (aprox. 40 x 28mm) Labradorite cabochon has the most beautiful golden flash to it. I framed it with cut golden and black seed beads to compliment and bring out the beauty of the stone. 3 bicone Swarovski crystals sit nestled at the bottom.
The pendant is bead embroidered, each tiny bead individually hand sewn. It is backed with recycled black leather and branded with my logo and the Roycroft mark to show you have an original one-of-a-kind piece.
The neckchain is a combination of black and golden beads. The crystals in the chain are honestly some of the most beautiful I have ever found. The photo does not do them justice. Hard to describe- but they are a light smoke color with a golden AB finish that perfectly matches the flash of the Labradorite.
1.2kg polished Labradorite specimen from Labrador, Canada.
The iridescent effect is a result of something called Labradorescence, induced by the scattering of light between thin lamellar plates of Anorthosite.
This is a gorgeous piece! It is made of amethyst (AA grade) chip beads, light amethyst beads, labradorite coin beads, black bicone glass beads, seed beads and its a three stranded necklace. It measures 18 1/2" in length.
*Metaphysical Properties of Amethyst:
Also known as the "Sobriety Stone". Amethyst is purple quartz, and is a meditative and calming stone. It works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to provide calm, balance, patience, and peace. Amethyst is also beneficial when dealing with legal problems and money issues, which can lead to prosperity and abundance. Amethyst has a gentle, sedative energy that promotes peacefulness, happiness, and contentment. Amethyst can help get rid of addictions (alcohol, drugs, smoking, etc.) and compulsive behaviors of all kinds. In the psychic and spiritual realms, amethyst is an excellent all-purpose stone that can increase spirituality and enhance intuition and psychic powers of all kinds. It does this by making a clear connection between the earth plane and other planes and worlds. Amethyst also protects against psychic attacks, especially during spiritual work, and protects one from thieves, and protects travelers. Physically, amethyst is beneficial for reducing withdrawal symptoms of all kinds, blood sugar imbalances, depression, general healing, left brain imbalances, headaches, arthritis, insomnia, nightmares, other sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, generalized anxiety, ear aches, circulatory system issues, endocrine system problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, immune system deficiencies, and general healing.
Primarily, amethyst is associated with the third eye and crown chakras but can also open the heart chakra.
*Metaphysical Properties of Labradorite:
Labradorite has always been one of my favourite gemstones. balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies. It strengthens intuition and promotes psychic abilities. Powerful in revealing the truth behind illusions, labradorite banishes fears and insecurities, and strengthens faith in one's self and trust in the universe. It stimulates the imagination and calms an overactive mind, developing enthusiasm and new ideas. Labradorite treats disorders of the eyes and brain, stimulates mental acuity, and relieves anxiety and stress. It regulates metabolism, balances hormones and relieves menstrual tension. Labradorite treats colds, gout, and rheumatism, lowers blood pressure, and aids in digestion.
Labradorite is a feldspar mineral, and is also known as Spectrolite.

Stone of Destiny
Labradorite is a gemstone that was named after Labrador in Canada, where it was found on the Isle of Paul, near Nain in 1770. Labradorite, also known as Spectrolite, is a Feldspar mineral. Labradorite in a white matrix is often called "Rainbow Moonstone".
A stone of transformation, Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies. Labradorite is excellent for strengthening intuition - promoting psychic abilities.
Powerful in revealing the truth behind illusions, Labradorite banishes fears and insecurities, and strengthens faith in the self and trust in the universe. It stimulates the imagination and calms an overactive mind, developing enthusiasm and new ideas.
Labradorite treats disorders of the eyes and brain, stimulates mental acuity, and relieves anxiety and stress. It regulates metabolism, balances hormones and relieves menstrual tension. Labradorite treats colds, gout, and rheumatism, lowers blood pressure, and aids in digestion.
