A warm-toned stone
Sunstone takes its name from the tiny light-reflecting inclusions on its surface, which evoke small gold-bronze glints in the light. This palm stone is shaped into a carefully polished flat form, so it is easy to put in a pocket or bag. You may notice each time how it sparkles from a different angle.
What sunstone is
Sunstone is a mineral in the feldspar family whose warm orange-reddish-brownish shade is caused by tiny metallic inclusions within it. These inclusions are what create the characteristic shimmering effect. You receive a natural mineral piece whose appearance differs from every angle.
How you can use it
Many people carry it in their pocket as a daily companion, and occasionally turn it in their hand during a conversation or a thoughtful moment. You may also place it on the desk, where the warm shade adds mood to the environment. You can keep it in a soft leather pouch if you want to avoid scratching.
Care
Sunstone is a moderately hard mineral, so it should be handled more gently than quartz varieties. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid chemicals, hot water and dropping, because the polished surface may be damaged. Store separately from other jewelry.
What you receive when unpacking
You receive the piece individually wrapped, in polished condition. Due to the natural mineral, the pattern and degree of shimmer differ between pieces. You take over a uniquely patterned item that has no twin. The polished surface is cool and silky to the touch, and held to the light it immediately shows its characteristic gold-bronze shimmer. You will hold a finely crafted, harmoniously shaped stone in your palm.
