Most feldspars can be divided into two groups, alkali feldspars (KalSi3O8, NaAlSi3O8 series) and plagioclase (NaAlSi3O8, CaAL2Si2O8 series), with albite is an end member in each of these series. Plagioclase feldspars has six species; abite, oligoclase, andesines, labradorite, bytownite and anorthite. With each of these species being defined by its albite and anorthite content. Labradodite has a chemical composition just above midway between albite and anorthite. It rarely forms crystals but when it does the crystals are tabular and often twinned. Other habits may be granular, compact or massive. Labradodite is blue, grey, black white or colourless, frequently the cleavage shows a rich play of colours. The streak is white and it has a vitreous lustre. Group SILICATES, Composition (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8, Hardness 6.0-6.5, Crystal structure TRICLINIC.
