2.62ct Bi-color Oregon Sunstone, perfect for ring or pendant
$157.00
This Oregon Sunstone oval has got some of the most beautiful schiller streaking across like a comet. The colors are a soft pastel peachy green bicolor.
Some Oregon Sunstones are known for its pleochroism, the ability to display different colors from different angles. The reason is the copper inclusions that also give it the shimmering effect known as aventurescence.
This stone weighs 2.62ct and measures 10×8.8mm. It would be absolutely beautiful in a ring as long as it’s for non-regular wear and placed in a protective setting. The stone would also look stunning in a 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.
Huge 22.91ct tri-color Oregon Sunstone
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.

The color is mostly red with hints of orange and gold. As with most Oregon Sunstone, it will change depending upon the light and viewing angle.
The stone weighs 6.8ct and measures 17x11mm, making it the perfect size for a pendant or brooch.
