Oregon Sunstone

This is one very cute little Oregon Sunstone that won't break the bank. Sweet pastel pink and champagne stone with a little splash of color. This stone would be perfect in a nice little ring or pendant. Oregon Sunstone is the state gemstone of Oregon and is a laboradite feldspar with aventurescence. This means it seems to have a glow, similar to moonstone or the laboradite stone many are familiar with. Unlike those stones, however, this gemstone is suitable for faceting, so it comes out beautifully in jewelry. This stone weighs. 96ct and measures 7.2x5.3mm

Here's a nice little Oregon Sunstone with some fantastic color and copper schiller. Oregon Sunstone is such a fun material because no two stones are ever 100% alike. This one has that AAA copper schiller, and the color is a nice dark pink, a little less orange than some. The color is almost what I'd call a Padparadscha pink. There are many legends around Oregon Sunstone and Sunstone in general. The Northern Piute legend is that a great warrior fell wounded by an enemies arrow. The warriors blood carried his spirit into the stones, staining them red and giving them sacred power. The Norse were known to have used calcite to be able to determine the location of the sun on overcast days, but this is different from the silicate feldspar we know as Sunstone today. While there are other feldspar materials known as Sunstone, Oregon Sunstone is the only one with the unique copper inclusions. This particular gem weighs 1.02ct and measures 6mm. It's cut into a cute cushion design that would work well in a ring or a small pendant.
