Sunstone is the Feldspar varieties of Plagioclase or Orthoclase that exhibit aventurescence, and it is usually caused by the fine inclusions of Hematite, sometimes Goethite or Pyrite, or rarely Copper. The Sunstones from the Oregon locality, Oregon Sunstone, are known to have Copper inclusions in rare instances, while other localities such as Tanzania, Russia, India, and Australia usually have Hematite inclusions with some exhibiting glittery rainbow flashes, and a small percentage of the ones from the Australian locality have rare triangular shape inclusions that are distinctive from there, also known as Lattice Sunstone.
