Physical Information
Sunstone is a feldspar mineral known for its warm, sparkling appearance caused by aventurescence — a glitter-like optical effect created by tiny plate-like inclusions of hematite, goethite, or copper.
Its colours range from peach, orange, and gold to reddish tones, depending on the type and amount of inclusions.
Sunstone is typically found in igneous rocks such as basalt and granite, where feldspar crystals have had space and time to grow.
The stone has a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, making it suitable for jewelry, carvings, and decorative pieces.
Major sources include Oregon (USA), India, Norway, Tanzania, and Madagascar.
Oregon Sunstone, with natural copper inclusions, is especially prized for its strong shimmer and unique colour flashes.
