Orange Sunstone is famed for its aventurescence, often referred to as 'schiller.' Schiller of an orange sunstone depends on the size of the inclusions that create the phenomenon. Smaller inclusions tend to exhibit more sheen, while larger inclusions generally appear as glittery, spangled metallic reflections. Orange Sunstone is typically orange to reddish, and its spangled appearance is reminiscent of the sun, hence its name 'sunstone.'
Identifying Orange Sunstone is simple by its glittery aventurescence alone, but it can sometimes be confused with other aventurescent gems such as aventurine quartz, or even other similar feldspars, such as orthoclase moonstone. Orange Sunstone is slightly softer than quartz with a hardness rating of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
Although sunstone deposits are in various locations around the world, there is no single source from which it comes. Some of the more significant, notable deposits come from India, Canada, Madagascar, Norway, Russia and the USA (Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Utah). Oregon, USA is famous for producing sunstone included with traces of copper.

This site is *amazing*! The vast selection is almost enough to make you giggle. Oh, wait…If you want it, it’s probably here. I’ve read some reviews saying it’s hard to use the search filters but I found the opposite to be true. In fact, it’s plain fun to throw different filters on and see what you come up with. I ordered a small stone to sort of try them out and, dang! I’m so thoroughly impressed that I think I found a new hobby. The stone I got was exact what was represented on the site. So much so that I had to really look to see the difference between the picture and the stone that I got. And the range of prices. Wow! From a few dollars to tens of thousands if you’re into like, Ruby’s, Emerald’s, Sapphire’s and other gems that make you drool. And the cuts! The shapes and cuts are just plain gorgeous!Honestly, I can’t possibly say just how happy I am with this purchase! Now… off to make another…

Excellent prices, excellent gemstones, easy to navigating, at the checkout, only a part of my cart was paid, then I get back to my chart, and the missing gemstones were there, so I pay it.At the end of the day, I did 2 consecutive purchases, paying 2 shippings. But even with that issue, I’m sure that worth it.Thanks!

I like the search ability. I was looking for a gemstone of particular size and color to place in a ring that I already have. Your company carries a large variety of beautiful stones.

This is probably the fourth time I havebought gems at Gem Select, I have never been disappointed. I design a ring for myself, it is easier to buy the gems I want and take them to a jeweler. I am sure I will order gems again.

I think the GemSelect website is exceptional. It gives me comfort and confidence that what I select is what I will receive from them. This is why I buy from them. I've purchased many gems from them online and have never been dissatisfied. I like the paperwork that ships with the orders and the reports that are available.
