Sunstone is an oligioclase feldspar mineral with a hardness of 6 to 6.5. It is also known in some reference books as Aventurine Feldspar, a name derived from the stones resemblance to an accidentally discovered type of glass known as ventura. Sunstone has a triclinic crystal system and usually occurs as compact aggregates. The color is orange to red-brown, with sparkling inclusions. The name sunstone comes from its warm color and reflected light, reminiscent of the sun.
