Description

Meet the kind of Oregon Sunstone collectors wait years to find. This 5.35ct raspberry-red pear dazzles with dramatic color banding that reads like a ribbon of silvery schiller moving across the face of the stone. The effect is dynamic under different lighting—soft and silky indoors, sparkling and vivid in sunlight—giving the gem an unmistakable, living character.

Why this stone stands out

• Top-tier color: Saturated raspberry red with depth and glow.

• Rare phenomenon: Distinct, silvery schiller-like banding across the face—exceptional and highly sought-after.

• Elegant cut: Pear shape with balanced proportions for maximum presence and versatility.

• Statement size: 5.35 carats (16.1×9.5mm) makes a commanding centerpiece.

• 100% natural & untreated: Genuine Oregon Sunstone—the official gemstone of Oregon—sustainably sourced from the Oregon Outback.

Cut & Design Potential

The elongated pear flatters the finger and frames beautifully in bezel, halo, or three-stone layouts (trillion or round sides are stunning). Pair with 14k/18k yellow, rose, or white gold; the raspberry red sings in warm metals and looks ultra-clean in white metals.

Origin & Integrity

Our Oregon Sunstones are responsibly sourced from Oregon’s high desert and are never diffusion-treated, dyed, or coated. You’re getting a natural feldspar with inherent copper inclusions responsible for the famed schiller effect. This stone was mined from the world famous Spectrum Oregon Sunstone mine near Plush Oregon.

Care Notes

Durable for everyday jewelry with thoughtful wear. Avoid harsh ultrasonics; use warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush.
