Sunstone Tumble

Sunstone is a type of feldspar mineral known for its dazzling appearance and warm, golden hues. Sunstone is typically found in igneous rocks, such as basalt or granite, in various parts of the world, including Norway, Russia, Canada, and the United States. The gemstone owes its name to the stunning optical effect known as aventurescence, which creates the appearance of sparkling metallic flashes resembling the sun's rays.

Sunstone exhibits a range of colors, including shades of orange, red, brown, and yellow, with shimmering metallic flecks caused by tiny plate-like inclusions of hematite or goethite. These reflective inclusions are responsible for the gemstone's unique optical phenomenon, giving it a distinctive and captivating appearance. Sunstone is typically translucent to transparent and is often cut into cabochons or faceted gemstones to enhance its natural brilliance and color play. Due to its vibrant colors and iridescent sheen, Sunstone is a popular choice for jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Additionally, Sunstone is believed to possess metaphysical properties that promote vitality, abundance, and personal power, making it a sought-after gemstone for both its aesthetic and spiritual qualities.
