Sunstone 13x15mm Faceted Top Drilled Irregular Tear Drop - 15-16 Inch Rhodonite with points at both endsSunstone, 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.
