Sunstone from Tanzania is a variety of feldspar known for its unique optical phenomena, typically displaying a metallic sheen known as aventurescence. While sunstone, in general, has a history of use in ancient cultures, the specific Tanzanian variety gained attention for its vibrant colors and shimmering effect. Composed of potassium feldspar with varying amounts of copper or hematite inclusions, Tanzanian sunstone exhibits colors ranging from golden to reddish-brown, with the aventurescent effect caused by light scattering from the plate-like inclusions. With a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, sunstone is suitable for use in jewelry. Tanzanian sunstone's captivating play of color and relative rarity make it a valued material for gem enthusiasts and collectors.
