DVH 95ct Sunstone Focal Bead Tanzania Confetti 42x26x11mm (1401)

Description

I hand cut this lovely focal bead out of natural sunstone from Tanzania. Pictures don't do these beauties justice! You can see how they move in the light in the video shorts on my DVHdesigns channel, same title. Sunstone is a variety of feldspar that has hematite inclusions in it that causes it to sparkle. Tanzanian sunstones are a relatively new find and they are bigger and flashier than the sunstones from Oregon where I live! LOTS of aventurescence, confetti, iridescence, shiller, and more!
CHAIN NOT INCLUDED.  Feel free to check out all the items here in my DVHdesigns Store and don't hesitate to contact me with general inquiries or about custom work that I could make and list for you.  Thanks for shopping DVHdesigns!
Here is what June Culp Zeitner of Lapidary Journal fame says about sunstone in her book, "Gem and Lapidary Materials,".... "Sunstone is an aventurescent labradorite, microcline, or oligoclase feldspar, distinguished by minute hematite or goethite inclusions which reflect the light" She goes on to say that some microcline sunstones like this one show both aventurescence and adularescence.
Some of the mystic lore that has been said about sunstone is that it is a stone of leadership, dispels fear and stress, increases vitality, encourages independence and originality, warms the spirit and brings good fortune!
