Labradorite
The mineral labraorite is a variant of Anorthite belonging to the feldspar group, the chemical formula is  (Ca,Na)(Si,Al)4O8. Labradorite has a certain glow/reflection that is called labradorescence. In 1780, the mineral was described and named after the Labrador peninsula in Canada. The mineral does not form crystals but is a common feldspar in pegmatites and other igneous/metamorphic rocks. Labradorite has many colors but is mainly blue / green and yellow labradorite is sometimes described as spectrolite. However, this is a trade name and not a valid name for the mineral itself.
