This beautiful 1.10 carat Tanzanian Sunstone features a rare concentration of deep red platelet inclusions, giving the gem its fiery, metallic “ember glow” as it moves under the light. The stone is hand-cut in my custom Mistress Cut, a square modified brilliant that maximizes internal sparkle while showcasing the natural red schiller that Tanzanian material is prized for. These red confetti like inclusions flash red and green.

The gem is fully natural with no treatments, and the inclusion pattern is the highlight—these red platelets are highly desirable and sought after by collectors of unique feldspar gemstones.
