Collection: Sunstone

Sunstone is a captivating variety of feldspar mineral celebrated for its warm, radiant color palette that ranges from pale yellow and peach to deep orange-red, brown, and occasionally rare green or blue hues. Its most defining feature is aventurescence (or schiller effect), a mesmerizing optical phenomenon where the gemstone emits brilliant, metallic flashes of light. This glittery sheen is caused by light reflecting off tiny, plate-like inclusions of hematite, goethite, or copper embedded within the stone's crystalline structure. Ranking at 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, sunstone is moderately durable and possesses a vitreous to pearly luster. This makes it a popular and reliable choice for unique jewelry particularly when cut into smooth cabochons to maximize its sun-like sparkle.
