Description

Golden Labradorite (also known as Bytownite) is a variety of plagioclase feldspar with a hardness of 6 to 6.5. Its crystal system is triclinic. It sometimes forms as blocky tabular crystals, which can be twinned. Golden Labradorite is usually transparent and its color is a golden yellow. It does not exhibit the shimmering labradorescence of other Labradorites. However, when cut into gems, it can exhibit an uncommon brilliance. Golden Labradorite can be found in Oregon, where it is sometimes identified as a type of Sunstone, but the largest deposits of gem-grade material are in Mexico.
