Peach Fuzz Anyone?

Every year, color forecasting service Pantone selects one color to be the color of the year. That color for 2024 is Peach Fuzz, or if you're familiar with Pantone's color numbering system, it's 13-1023.

Now, you might be wandering if there's a natural gemstone that could match this newly popular color. Why, glad you asked! There actually is, and it is mined in the US too. Meet sunstone!

Oregon sunstone

Sunstone belongs to the family of feldspar, and in the United States, it is mined in Oregon. On the Mohs hardness scale, it measures anywhere between 6.5 and 7.2 which makes it number among the sturdier gemstones. For comparison, diamond, the hardest known gemstone to mankind, measures 10 on the Mohs scale.
