The gentleman on my left is Jack Holloway, the sunstone operator, who is the original discoverer. |
It may also have a sparkle owing to inclusions of hematite, in which case it is called sunstone. |
He loved the red-gold of the sunstone, and the moonstone's pearly whiteness, and the broken rainbow of the milky opal. |
The sheen of sunstone is best visible when the stone is held in the sunlight or strong artificial light. |
The gems known as moonstone and sunstone owe the play of colors which gives them their respective names to similar causes. |
For example, amethyst blends well with lavender, fire agate with sunflowers, citrine with chamomile, aventurine with mint, sunstone with marigolds or daisy, and so forth. |
