Sunstone has a gorgeous shimmering effect to it and is a really unique choice in your treasured jewellery collection. Part of the lesser know gemstone group, the Feldspar Group, Sunstone offers a much warmer tone than Moonstone, with a distinct glitter called adventurescence.
Gaining popularity, there are many varieties of Sunstone but the best known is typically the aventurine feldspar, that has a redish-brown colour and a sunny glitter. According to a Native American Legend, a great warrior was wounded by an arrow and spilled his blood onto Oregon Sunstone colouring them different shades of red.
Large inclusions within this gemstone create the Sunstone’s shimmering effect, offering the poetic message of finding beauty within imperfections.
