Collection: Fantasy Cut Sunstone

Sunstone Hardness: 6.5 - 7

Wearability: Good

Sunstone is celebrated for its warm, radiant hues and distinctive metallic shimmer. Most sunstones are sourced from Oregon, USA, where copper inclusions create fiery reds, greens, and golden tones, though stones from Africa display a subtly different character.

Yellow, or golden, sunstone is the most common, while red and green varieties are rarer and highly sought after. Bicolor and tricolor stones are exceptionally uncommon, prized by collectors and designers alike for their unique beauty.

Fantasy cutting brings out sunstone’s natural brilliance, but each stone presents its own challenges. The design of the cut is often tailored to the individual gem, taking into account its internal structure and natural fractures. This careful approach ensures that every sunstone carving is a luminous, one-of-a-kind creation that maximizes color, depth, and movement.
