Elegant Sunstone Jewelry : The Stone of Leadership

Sunstone is a microcline feldspar containing red copper, hematite, and goethite. When you look at sunstone from certain angles, it shows a spangled appearance, and this phenomenon is known as aventurescence in gemology. This optical phenomenon in which  Sunstone Jewelry  shows a spangled appearance is caused due to inclusions of hematite, red copper, or goethite, which is present as minute scales. These minute scales are hexagonal, rhombic, or irregular in shape. If you look closely at the inclusions, you will find them similar to that of Aventurine, which is why this gemstone is also known as Aventurine-feldspar. Not all sunstones exhibit aventurescence (which is a type of Schiller Effect). The feldspars that display aventurescence (or simply Aventurine-like appearance) are called Oligoclase.
