10.1ct Champagne Oregon Sunstone with peach highlights

Take a look at the depth of color on this gorgeous Oregon Sunstone. If you like greens, teals, and deep burgundy red, this is the one for you. Also note the slight copper schiller streaking across the front. Truly, this is a work of nature's beauty. The rough from this stone comes from the Sunstone Butte area of the rabbit basin in Eastern Oregon. Some of the most beautiful colored Oregon Sunstone in the world come from this mine. It's easy to see why jewelry designers are often so drawn to this material. This stone weighs 2.63ct and is 10x7mm. Perfect size for a ring or a pendant. I could see this being set with other stones like garnet or dark green tourmaline to accent the colors. Retail on a stone like this can be upwards of $500/ct, but you get a great deal from me at wholesale price.

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.
