Introduction: Our Sunstone 8mm Bracelet features Oregon’s legendary “Plush” variety with exceptional aventurescence from copper platelet inclusions. These specimens contain 0.3-0.5% elemental copper by weight, creating the signature “Schiller effect” visible under 40x magnification.
Mineralogical Analysis: XRD confirms oligoclase feldspar composition with exsolved copper particles (5-50μm diameter). The aventurescence results from light interference on aligned copper crystals, showing 120° cleavage planes characteristic of triclinic systems.
