Sunstone 2x3mm Faceted Rondelle - 15-16 Inch Poppy to Patterned Jasper Phillipine RosewoodSunstone, a variety of Feldspar, is aptly named for its shades of gold, orange, red and brown, as well as its iridescent sparkle. As the stone catches the light, inclusions of Goethite or Hematite refract the light between the layers of the crystal, producing the effect of the stone seeming to shine from within.
