SunStone Tumbles | Small

For confidence that comes from you, not from the room.

Sunstone is a feldspar containing fine inclusions of copper or hematite, arranged so that light catches them in a warm, sparkling flash called aventurescence, the same optical effect at work in green aventurine but produced by a different mineral. Oregon, in the United States, produces some of the finest material in the world and has made it the state's official gemstone; it's also found in Norway and India.

Tilt a piece under strong light and the sparkle genuinely seems to move, shifting position as the angle changes.

Sunstone is worked with for personal power and confidence — a stone associated with warmth generated from within rather than borrowed from outside. It sits with the sacral and solar plexus.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast."
