Australian Starburst stone

34x12mm

This vibrant, chatoyant material was born from a deep love for the legendary Victoria Stone—a rare Japanese creation from the 1960s known for its glowing colors and silky shimmer. After falling in love with it in the '90s, Australian lapidary enthusiast John Bennett teamed up with chemist Artur Birkner (of Biron Emerald fame) to bring a similar magic back to life. Years of experimentation led to Starburst Stone—a man-made beauty crafted in Western Australia from 100% natural minerals. It's not Victoria Stone, but it captures the spirit with bold colors, dreamy chatoyancy, and that unmistakable glow that dances in the light.
