Collection: Sunstone

Sunstone is a feldspar that contains tiny reflective platelets, which give it a glittering metallic sparkle. The name describes the look rather than one specific mineral.

Varieties and Trade Names

Oregon sunstone from the USA contains copper platelets and can be red, orange or green. Sunstone from India and Norway usually gets its sparkle from hematite. Goldstone, a man-made glass, is sometimes mistaken for sunstone.
