Photographic Print : Iridescent slab of labradorite
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Iridescent slab of labradorite
An iridescent slab of labradorite (sodium calcium aluminium silicate), one of the plagioclase series of minerals, which includes albite, oligoclase and anorthite. The plagioclases form an isomorphous series, having the same basic composition and crystal structure, but containing varying proportions of sodium and calcium. Labradorite occurs in both metamorphic and igneous rocks and is found in Labrador (Canada), Norway and the USSR

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an iridescent slab of labradorite. Labradorite, a member of the plagioclase series of minerals, is composed of sodium calcium aluminium silicate. It belongs to a group that includes other minerals like albite, oligoclase, and anorthite. What makes this specimen truly remarkable is its iridescence - it displays a stunning play of colors when light interacts with its surface. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique crystal structure and composition of labradorite. Labradorite can be found in both metamorphic and igneous rocks across various regions such as Labrador (Canada), Norway, and the former USSR. Its presence in these diverse geological formations highlights its wide distribution and significance in Earth's history. The plagioclases form an isomorphous series, meaning they share the same basic composition and crystal structure but contain varying proportions of sodium and calcium. This characteristic gives rise to their distinct properties and appearances. As we admire this exquisite labradorite slab through this print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of nature's ability to create breathtaking wonders that captivate our imagination. Let us appreciate the intricate details within Earth's geology while marveling at the sheer beauty displayed by minerals like labradorite.
