Sunstone Crystal: A Shimmer of Sunshine
Sunstone is a variety of feldspar that is known for its shimmering, iridescent colors, often referred to as "aventurescence." This phenomenon is caused by tiny inclusions of hematite or goethite within the stone. The color of the shimmer can vary, but it's most commonly seen as a golden or copper hue.
