Beautiful pair of faceted stones of colourless body with orange sparkling flashes.

This translucent feldspar has hematite platelet inclusions which appear orange.  With a hardness of 6, good stability but poor toughness and good cleavage, sunstone is best suited for use in pendants, earrings, and brooches but care should be taken in rings and bracelets and when setting the stones themselves.

Hardness – resistance to scratching and wear

Stability – resistance to alteration by light, heat or chemicals

Toughness – resistance to fracture, cleavage or cracking
