This marker is a one-of-a-kind in Parsons. The blueish color is from a mineral called labradorite. Labradorite is a mineral which has a pretty, iridescent blue color when viewed from the right angle. This is what gives this igneous rock its blueish hue. Although it is not very dark in color, this rock is a type of gabbro. On a sunny day, if you find the right angle, you should be able to see the blue “pop” out.
