Like most silicate lines the stone is slanted to white. The phenomenon of twinning in the Labradorite stone is observed due to its refractive index, estimated between 1.559 and 1.573.

Origin of the stone and name it
The scientific name of the Labradorite stone is related to the location of its discovery, "Powell Island" next to the city of Nine in Labrador, Canada. Later, the stone was found elsewhere in the world, such as Norway, Finland, Madagascar, Australia and the United States of America (New York, Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon). While its common name is "peacock stone" due to the similarity of peacock feathers, which is the common name of "stone" in the Middle East.
