1.60ct peach schiller Oregon Sunstone

This is one of those Oregon Sunstones you only see once in a while. Its depth of color is absolutely breathtaking. The dark green accented with coppery red schiller is mesmerizing. Oregon Sunstone is rare in the world of feldspar in that it contains copper. Most stones will only show a little hint of this copper when they display a little aventurescence, that inner glow seen as it flashes in the sunlight. About 10% of these stones will display any color at all, usually a pinkish peach color. Then there's the 1%rs. Stones like the one you're seeing here that are so rare they must be used to create a custom-made masterpiece. This particular stone is 8.83ct and measures 14.4x11mm. It would make a very impressive cocktail ring or pendant.

Here's an Oregon Sunstone for your next ring, pendant, or brooch. This is a splendid example of a bi-color stone, primarily green but showing of some peachy schiller, especially in the sun. Be sure to look through the photos and see how she changes with LED vs. natural sunlight. Oregon Sunstone is an all natural, never treated stone that only comes from a small area of the northeastern part of the state. The color and the sometimes extra sparkly effect called schiller come from the thousands of microscopic bits of copper, naturally infused into the stone. Green is one of the rarest colors of this magnificent gemstone. This particular stone weighs 2.55ct and measures 6x12.5mm.

Oregon Sunstone, the always natural and untreated state gem is a rare feldspar containing copper, which gives it not only a wide range of colors, but also the aventurescent quality called "schiller" from thousands of microscopic bits of copper inside the stone. Usually, these crystals get only as large as 60-70cts before being cut. Often, bigger crystals have fractures, which makes cutting large stones over 10cts difficult. This stone, however, is not the norm. It weighs a massive 22.9ct and measures 23x17mm. It's the largest stone in my inventory. Just being large isn't the only thing that makes this stone special, though. The tri-color green, pink, and gold or "mystique" color is one of the rarest for Oregon Sunstone. Watch the colors shift and move as the stone turns. The concave cutting on this gem also ads to the brilliance, giving it a radient shine. It is truly a one of a kind masterpiece.
