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.

Who doesn't love Oregon Sunstone with copper schiller? This stone is absolutely loaded with streaks of coppery goodness.

This is a nice juicy one. There's a hint of sparkling copper schiller inside, but overall, it's a very clear stone. There's a darker red patch at the center that looks almost like a heart. The perfect gift for your sweetheart.
Oregon Sunstone, the official state gem, is very rare, only found in one remote part of the state and nowhere else in the world.

Keep in mind that if you're going to make this a ring, it shouldn't be intended as a daily wear ring. It's soft enough on mohs' hardness scale (6.5-7) that it can scratch easily and can be prone to chipping. That being said, if it's in a protective setting, that will help greatly.

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.

Huge 17.25ct Golden Champagne Oregon Sunstone
This stone has golden overtones with hints of green. It measures 15.3x15.3 and is 12.5mm deep. This would make an amazing pendant.
Oregon Sunstone, the state's official gemstone, comes in colors ranging from warm pinks and brilliant red or reddish orange to deep green and teal, but champagne is the most common color found. The colors come from microscopic copper platelets within the stone. Sometimes, they appear as bright coppery "schiller," and other times, they appear as colors in the stone. Many stones will have both.
Typically, Oregon Sunstone crystals are not big enough to produce a stone of this size. Many crystals found are 5-20ct. A stone of 50-60cts is rare.
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.
