Product Title: A Grade Sunstone Faceted Round Beads Strands – 128 Facets – 6mm to 12mm Mixed Sizes – 38cm/strand – Natural Feldspar Gemstone Beads for Jewelry Making

Product Description:

Bring the warm, radiant energy of the sun to your jewelry designs with our A Grade Sunstone Faceted Round Beads Strands. Sunstone is a stunning variety of feldspar, prized for its warm, glowing orange to reddish-orange hues and its signature aventurescence – a dazzling metallic glitter effect caused by tiny hematite or copper platelets suspended within the stone. When light hits the surface, these inclusions create brilliant flashes of gold, orange, copper, and red – like captured sunshine. These beads feature a stunning 128-facet precision cut – far more facets than standard beads – creating exceptional light reflection, brilliant sparkle, and maximizing the stone's natural aventurescent glitter. The beads range from approximately 6mm to 12mm in mixed sizes, offering a dynamic, graduated look perfect for statement pieces. Each strand measures approximately 38cm (15 inches) in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping. These strands are a favorite among professional jewelry designers, crystal healers, and anyone seeking a joyful, empowering gemstone.

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged water exposure. Sunstone is moderately durable (Mohs 6-6.5) but has perfect cleavage in one direction, meaning it can split or chip if struck hard. Store away from harder gemstones and handle with care.

☀️ What is Sunstone?
Sunstone is a variety of feldspar (typically oligoclase or orthoclase) that contains tiny reflective platelets of hematite, copper, or goethite. These inclusions create a stunning optical effect called aventurescence – a brilliant metallic glitter that flashes across the surface when light hits the stone, resembling captured sunlight.

Why 128 Facets?
Standard faceted beads typically have 16 or 32 facets. Our 128-facet beads feature precision-cut angles that dramatically increase light reflection, creating exceptional brilliance – while also maximizing the visibility of the stone's aventurescent glitter.

Important Care Note: Sunstone has perfect cleavage (Mohs 6-6.5), meaning it can split or chip if dropped or struck hard. Handle with care during stringing and wear. Best suited for necklaces, earrings, and occasional-wear bracelets rather than daily high-impact wear.
