== Colors == Spectrolite exhibits a richer range of colors than other labradorites as for instance in Canada or Madagascar (which show mostly tones of blue-grey-green) and high [[labradorescence]].<ref name="Gems">Michael O'Donoghue, ''Gems'', Butterworth-Heinemann, 6th ed., 2006, pp. 238-267, {{ISBN|0-7506-5856-8}}</ref><ref name="Schumann">Walter Schumann, ''Gemstones of the World,'' Sterling, 3rd ed., 2007, pp. 52 - 53, 182 {{ISBN|1-4027-4016-6}}</ref> Due to the unique colors mined in [[Finland]], spectrolite has become a [[brand]] name for material mined only there. Sometimes spectrolite is incorrectly used to describe labradorite whenever a richer display of colors is present, regardless of locality: for example, labradorite with the ''spectrolite'' play of colors has sometimes described material from [[Madagascar]].<ref name="Gems" />
