Sunstone is uncommon in its composition, clarity, and colors. It is a large, brightly colored transparent gem with colors ranging from water clear to yellow, as well as many shades of green, red and pink; the exact color is determined by the amount of copper within the gem. Some contain from two to three of these colors. Many Sunstones also contain copper inclusions that cause an extra flash or shimmer as millions of the shiny aligned particles reflect light. This feature is called "schiller". Schiller has a wide range of shapes and intensities, depending both on the original stone and on how the artist orients it during cutting.
Only Sunstone from the Northwest exhibits these features, this is . . .
