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.

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.

Oregon Sunstone is rare in the world of feldspar in that it contains copper.

Stones like the one you're seeing here that are so rare they must be used to create a custom-made masterpiece.

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.
