Sunstone 16 x 12mm Oval Cabochon

This oval sunstone cabochon presents an attractive, understated orange-pink color enlivened by subtle flashes within the gemstone. Use this gemstone for a simple ring or pendant, in pairs for earrings or combine with gems ofcontrasting and complementary colors, including hues of orange, reds and pinks for more complex designs. Sunstone is an orthoclase feldspar, which contains potassium and displays a brilliant spangled appearance, making it a popular choice as a gemstone. This spangled look, called the 'schiller' effect is caused by small, flat reflective inclusions that align themselves along the mineral structure.
