Crystalline group formed by Anorthite crystals (variety labradorite), in which a polished section shows the intensity and luminosity of the interior of the crystals, which display a preferred orientation with very intense and deep sky-blue to navy-blue colorations, as well as golden zoning towards the center and the outline of the specimen, all with an extraordinary luster.
The specimen, which comes from the Folch duplicates collection, is also from the type locality for this variety of plagioclase.
