Labradorite: (Ca,Na)(Si,Al)4O8  
Plagioclase: (Na,Ca)(Si,Al)4O8

Comments: Dual view of a cleavage fragment of labradorite showing the multi-colored labradorescence (schiller effect) and the same area viewed without the color. The color is due to optical interference on Bøggild exsolution lamellae.
