An orange stone full of tiny metal flecks that sparkle when you tilt it.
Warm orange to peach, with a glitter that comes and goes as it moves. Here you'll find bracelets, a fine bead necklace and pendulums.

The basics
Sunstone is a feldspar, the same big mineral family as moonstone and labradorite. Inside are thin flat flakes of hematite or copper, all lined up.
When light hits those flakes at the right angle, they flash. That glitter has a name: aventurescence. Turn a bead slowly under a lamp and you'll catch it.
Rituals, not rules

Care
Straight talk
Real sunstone sparkles only from some angles, and the flecks are uneven. Goldstone is different: man-made glass with copper glitter that sparkles evenly. If a piece of ours were ever treated or man-made, the title would say so.
Good questions
It's traditionally linked with joy, warmth and confidence, and with the sun itself. Most people just pick it because the colour feels happy. That's a great reason.
They're different. Sunstone is a natural feldspar with uneven flecks that sparkle from certain angles. Goldstone is man-made glass with even copper glitter all the way through.
It's most often linked with Leo, the sun-ruled sign. That's tradition, so wear it whatever your sign is.
A quick rinse is fine, then dry it right away. For a traditional cleanse, people use smoke, sound or a night on selenite.
