Sunstone bracelets

Sunstone is a variety of Labradorite feldspar that generally shows a glittering "Schiller effect" when viewed from various angles. The Schiller phenomenon makes the stone appear to glow, as if it had it’s own internal light source. Sunstones with the Shiller effect retain this unique “glow” even when viewed from a great distance and by evening lights. In fact, the presence of these glittering inclusions was the reason for naming it Sunstone or Heliolite, which comes from the Greek words "helios" for sun and "lithos" for stone.
