Sunstone “Stone of Joy” Pendant

Also known as a stone of joy, sunstone is believed to inspire good nature and an enjoyment of life. Sunstone gems belong to the feldspar group, which encompasses a large variety of gemstone materials--including moonstone and amazonite. The sparkly metallic glitter in this particular feldspar is called aventurescence, which is caused by flat, reflective inclusions (sometimes called "schiller"). These inclusions can be hematite, copper or other minerals. Larger inclusions tend to be more glittery while small inclusions create a red or gold sheen on top of the stone's natural color. Not all sunstones contain aventurescence. Pendant’s Length: 2 1/4” P.S. TO BUYERS: If your allergic to mix metal this is not for you. Set on 925S over copper.
