Plagioclase gemstones are moonstones (phenomenon known as "adularescence" : a white-to-bluish light that floats under the surface of the stone when it is turned under a source of light), sunstones (contain plate-shaped copper inclusions producing bright flashes of reflected light) and labradorite with iridescent effects.
