nSunstone gems belong to the feldspar group, which is part of a large variety of gemstone materials–including moonstone and amazonite. The sparkly metallic glitter in this particular feldspar is called aventurescence, which is caused by flat, reflective inclusions  or sometimes called “schiller”. These inclusions can be copper, or other minerals. Larger inclusions tend to be more glittery while small inclusions create a red or gold sheen on top of the stone’s natural color. Not all sunstones contain aventurescence.
