Crushed Light Peach Sunstone Powder from India, Fine Crush (<0.25mm)

Sunstone is a phenomenal variety of feldspar that exhibits a glittery, metallic flash known as aventurescence or the Schiller effect. This brilliant orange flash is due to preferentially oriented hematite or copper inclusions within the crystal structure. This particular sunstone is from India and is grade A material. Unfortunately, the brilliant orange flash is not preserved when the mineral has been progressively pulverized into tiny pieces. Our powdered material consists of mostly silt and clay sized particles. Our powders do have a slight grit to them. Please see the corresponding sediment size chart.  Mineral Properties Mohs’s Hardness: 6 Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 2.62 - 2.67 Luster: Vitreous Color: Peach Origin: India This product is not man-made, mixed with resin, dyed, or stabilized.
