3.11ct Golden peach Oregon Sunstone with scholler

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. This stone weighs 2.75ct and measures 11x7.5mm.

Do you like Red Oregon Sunstones? This is a nice juicy one. There's a hint of sparkling copper schiller inside, but overall, it's a very clear stone.

Oregon Sunstone, the official state gem, is very rare, only found in one remote part of the state and nowhere else in the world. It's also highly sought after by jewelry professionals who love the distinct look of this unique stone. This particular stone measures 9.4x8.5mm and weighs 2.54ct. It's big enough to be the focal point of a nice custom ring or pendant. 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.

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.

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.
