Large untreated 16.35 CTS natural star sunstone cabochon originating from Norway. This measures approximately 19.3 x 13.2 x 9.0 mm and is cut into an oval shape.

This stone has a big bright and fairly well defined star caused by asterism. This phenomenon causes a moving star of light to travel across the surface of the stone when exposed to a light source, either artificial or sunlight.

The coloring is a striking orange /gold and has been polished to a high sheen. The gem is in mint condition with no notable damage. This would make an excellent large ring, pendant, or other type of flashy jewelry.

The star sunstones have become a house favorite at our shop for several reasons. They have gorgeous unique color, generally exhibit some of the best asterism effects, and are an exceptional value.

Many people are perhaps more familiar with a related feldspar stone, moonstone. This has a similar play of color but instead of shimmering blues it is more like moonstone's fair sister that exhibits gold, reds and oranges.

A small percentage of sunstones will exhibit a phenomenal asterism effect of a moving star of light. This is a similar effect found in star Sapphire and star ruby. When the gem is exposed to a light source a moving star of light will travel across the surface of the stone. Star sunstones are more rare than regular sunstones, and finding ones with this quality of color is even more uncommon.
