Sunstone

from $245.00

About this stone

Sunstone is a feldspar whose glittering flashes come from tiny mineral platelets suspended inside the crystal — the effect is called aventurescence, and it makes the stone seem lit from within. The finest material, from Oregon, owes its flash to copper. Traditionally sunstone is associated with joy, vitality, and leadership, and with the warmth of the sun.
