ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Labradorite

Labradorite is a really pretty rock that is usually a dark gray color, but when you look at it from different angles, it can look like it's glowing with different colors. You know how sometimes when you look at bubbles in the sun, they look like they have lots of pretty colors in them? That's kind of what it's like when you look at labradorite.

This rock is special because it has tiny bumps and ridges all over the surface that help light bounce around inside it. Light is what helps us see things, and when it bounces around in labradorite, it makes really cool colors that shine through. It's kind of like a really fancy disco ball that you might see at a dance party!

People like to use labradorite in jewelry and decorations because it's so pretty and unique. It's like having a little piece of magic that you can wear or look at whenever you want. Some people even believe that labradorite has special powers and can bring good things into their lives. But even if you don't believe in that kind of thing, labradorite is still really fun to look at and play with. Just remember to be careful with it, because it's a rock and can break if you drop it!
