- What is it: Sunstone has an optical effect that is due to reflections from inclusions of red copper. These inclusions give the stone an appearance something like that of aventurine, hence sunstone is known also as "aventurine-feldspar".
- History: Sunstone has been known for the past few hundred years. The sunstone of Oregon were discovered by Native Americans who collected them and traded them. Sometimes, the Native Americans buried their dead with a small bag of sunstones.
- Metaphysical Properties: Sunstone is believed to be associated with luck and good fortune. Sunstone instills good nature, heightens intuition and allows the real self to shine through happily. It dissipates fearfulness, alleviates stress and increases vitality.
- Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead.
