Sunstone is a naturally occuring gemstone found in India and in the state of Oregon, among other places.
Sunstone is metallic in appearance and comes in red, orange or green colors. However, cleaner red sunstone is very rare and can be very expensive. The stone contains hematite or goethite which is responsible for the inner reflections of light, hence the name. Sunstone is formed in molten lava and is discharged onto the surface with the help of a volcano. When the lava weathers away or is broken, fine crystals of sunstone are released. Oregon sunstone is found with copper in it which is the cause for the range of colors from water color to yellow and many shades of green, red and pink. |
