POLISHED SUNSTONE

Sunstone is a radiant variety of feldspar known for its warm peach, orange, and red hues and its trademark aventurescence—the shimmering, metallic flash created by tiny, reflective inclusions of hematite or copper within the stone. When turned in the light, these plate-like inclusions produce a lively, glittering effect that seems to glow from within, giving sunstone its bright, uplifting appearance. Found in locations around the world, including India, Oregon, and Norway, sunstone is prized by collectors and lapidaries for its vibrant color, internal sparkle, and excellent ability to take a high polish.
