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

Earth Science Mineral Labradorite Plagioclase
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
