Feldspar

Sunstone and spectrolite (labradorite) are members of the feldspar group, which also includes moonstone, bytownite and orthoclase.  These stones polish well with cerium or tin oxide.

Sunstone:
The schiller in sunstone makes it look like a light source is inside the stone.  Copper inclusions create this wonderful schiller effect.  Will cut gorgeous cabochons and carvings.

All of these stones were hand selected from a large parcel for solid and excellent schiller.  As with other feldspars, sunstone takes a great polish with cerium oxide, but tin oxide will also work.
