Product Description:
Add warm, radiant energy with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our AB Grade Sunstone Faceted Cube Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural sunstone – a beautiful variety of feldspar prized for its warm, glowing orange to peach, apricot, salmon, champagne, and golden hues, accompanied by a signature aventurescence – a subtle metallic shimmer that sparkles like captured sunlight. The faceted cube shape offers a modern, geometric silhouette with precision-cut facets that catch and reflect light beautifully from every angle.
Sunstone is a natural feldspar gemstone that contains tiny reflective platelets of hematite or copper. These inclusions create a beautiful optical effect called aventurescence. The AB Grade designation indicates high-quality sunstone with vibrant color and abundant aventurescence. The natural stone is carefully shaped into cube beads – a clean, contemporary shape – then faceted to enhance its natural shimmer and warm color. The beads range from approximately eight to nine millimeters, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest to uniform designs. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

🧡✨ What are AB Grade Sunstone Faceted Cube Beads?
These radiant beads feature genuine natural sunstone in a modern faceted cube shape.
About Sunstone:
Sunstone is a variety of feldspar (typically oligoclase or orthoclase) that contains tiny reflective platelets of hematite or copper. These inclusions create a beautiful optical effect called aventurescence – a subtle, shimmering metallic glitter that sparkles when light hits the stone, resembling captured sunlight. Sunstone ranges in color from warm orange and peach to apricot, salmon, champagne, and golden honey. The stone is primarily sourced from India, Oregon in the United States, Norway, and Madagascar. AB Grade represents high-quality sunstone with vibrant color and abundant aventurescence. Sunstone is known as the "Stone of Joy and Personal Power" and is associated with the sacral chakra.
About the Faceted Cube Shape:
The cube is a modern, geometric bead shape that offers a clean, contemporary look. When faceted, the cube shape creates brilliant sparkle from every angle, making it a popular choice for designers seeking something beyond traditional round beads. The faceted surfaces also enhance the stone's aventurescence, making the metallic glitter more visible and dynamic.
Size Range:
These beads range from approximately 8mm to 9mm, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest while maintaining overall uniformity.
