A faceted Confetti Sunstone from Tanzania with the characteristic Hematite platelet inclusions which give rise to the shimmering, iridescent effect known as aventurescence.

The colours in this gem are superb, with pinprick flashes of turquoise, green, orange and pink being distributed through the stone.

Image 5 is a magnified view of the inclusion scene, which consists of a multitude of tiny hexagonal platelets.
