	Labradorite - LoveToKnow 1911
		LABRADORITE, or Labrador Spar, a lime-soda felspar of the plagioclase group, often cut and polished as an ornamental stone.
		Common labradorite, without play of colour, is an important constituent of such rocks as gabbro, diorite, andesite, dolerite and basalt.
		The term labradorite is unfortunately used also as a rockname, having been applied by Fouque and Levy to a group of basic rocks rich in augite and poor in olivine.

	Tubular voids in labradorite
		Labradorite phenocryst containing five tubular voids that pinch and swell in the same places along their parallel axes.
		Presumably, only one pinacoid of any given labradorite crystal would have a rate of outward propagation appropriate for the development of tubes; thus, all tubular voids in that phenocryst should, in general, be mutually parallel.
		Alternatively, if the labradorite phenocrysts were indeed growing at a relatively rapid rate, evolution of aqueous bubbles at the crystal-liquid interface could occur even in magmas undersaturated with an aqueous phase, as demonstrated experimentally by Fenn and Luth (1973).
