Gemstone: Sunstone - 41.75 Cts.
Unknown Locality
38.00 x 23.05 x 5.65 mm

This Sunstone cabochon presents a sleek oval form accented by a dense constellation of fine inclusions distributed throughout the stone. Dark gray to charcoal tones dominate its body, while subtle metallic flashes appear as light catches the surface, lending the cabochon a quiet, understated sparkle rather than overt brilliance. Soft internal mottling and faint tonal variation add depth and visual texture across the polished face. The smooth, domed finish enhances the stone's natural character and allows the inclusions to remain the focal point. This distinctive Sunstone offers an intriguing alternative to more traditionally colorful examples, appealing to collectors drawn to subtlety, texture, and mineral character.
