labradorite n Near Hopedale a beautiful blue and bronze iridescent felspar is found. It is called labradorite, and polished glistens in the sunlight like a peacock's feather. It is used for brooches, and occasionally for ornamenting buildings. We dropped anchor one night near an island almost entirely composed of this. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G. M.
