Who doesn't love Oregon Sunstone with copper schiller? This stone is absolutely loaded with streaks of coppery goodness.
If you look at the close-up photos, you can see that the color comes from thousands of microscopic bits of copper that form parallel lines inside the stone. Sometimes, the stone is cut in such a way that the streaks are turned into an amazing constellation pattern.
The "scissor"cut of this stone also helps with the light refraction, making it perfect for a ring or a pendant.

AAA Bicolor 7x5mm .9ct Oregon Sunstone

Beautiful AAA Red with a hint of dark green. The rough for this stone comes from the world famous Dust Devil mine in the Rabbit basin of Oregon's rugged Outback.
There is an internal fracture you can see in the photos. It should not compromise the integrity of the stone, but I've discounted it significantly because of this. It's practically impossible to see this fracture without magnification.
This stone would be great for a dainty ring or as part of a larger piece for a little color pop.

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.
Dark pink AAA schiller Oregon Sunstone 1.02ct
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.
Unique “Fanta Orange” Oregon Sunstone 3.5ct
Oregon Sunstone comes in many colors, but I most admit, this is a first for me. I thought the color was going to be more Orangeish red like a lot of stones are, but this one had so much gold color in it and no green. It came out this amazing Fanta orange. It's just bursting with color.
It's a great size for a ring or pendant. At 10mm and 3.5ct, it will always get noticed. Get used to people asking, "What kind of stone is that?".
I can custom make a ring or pendant for you, or you can purchase this stone and let your favorite jeweler create your masterpiece.
