Labradorite, a feldspar mineral, can display an iridescent optical effect (or Schiller) known as labradorescence. It is an intermediate to calcic member of the plagioclase series. The streak is white, like most silicates. As with all plagioclase members, the crystal system is triclinic. It occurs as clear, white to gray, blocky to lath shaped grains in common mafic igneous rocks such as basalt and gabbro, as well as in anorthosites.
Spectrolite is an uncommon variety of labradorite feldspar, which exhibits a richer range of colors than labradorite. Spectrolite was initially a brand name for material mined in Finland, but is sometimes used to describe labradorite whenever a richer display of colors is present, regardless of locality.
Worry stones are smooth, polished gemstones, usually in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief. The smoothness of the stone is most often created naturally by running water. The size of a worry stone is often about half the size of a silver dollar coin in the United States. They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one’s thumb back and forth across the stone. This action of moving one’s thumb back and forth across the stone can reduce stress.
Worry stones may also be called palm stones, thumb stones, fidget stones, soothing stones, or sensory stones.
