Labradorite is a fairly recent addition to the semi-precious gemstone world. It wasn't discovered until 1770. Moravian missionaries first found this iridescent mineral rock on the Isle of Paul in Labrador, Canada. Labradorite gemstones were used extensively as a semi-precious gemstone during the 1700's and 1800's in Europe. The missionaries who discovered the iridescent mineral rock took it to England and France. Semi-precious gems were made from the labradorite rocks and used in bracelets, brooches, necklaces and pins.
