3.44ct bi-color Oregon Sunstone
$275.00
This very pretty Oregon Sunstone is an AA bicolor pink/green with a nice little bit of copper schiller.
Oregon Sunstone is classified as a cuprian laboradite feldspar and rates between 6.5 and 7.2 on the mohs hardness scale. It is durable enough for a ring if protected well, like a bezel setting, but probably best as a pendant.
Some jewlers shy away from Oregon Sunstone because of its perceived fragility, but still work with stones like Tanzanite, which are equally as fragile. Given that Oregon Sunstone is a lot less expensive, the risk/reward payoff to me is a no-brainer.
This particular stone measures 11.6x9mm and weighs 3.44ct.

1.8ct Red/orange Oregon Sunstone with constellation shiller
Otherworldly. Spectacular. Like holding a galaxy in your hand. These are a few ways to describe holding this gorgeous AAA red Oregon Sunstone with an amazing copper schiller.
Many call this a constellation shiller pattern as the thousands of microscopic bits of copper glisten and catch the light, reflecting back the look of the milky way in your hand.
This would make one breathtaking ring or could be used in a pendant or brooch.
The size is 10x7mm, and the weight is 1.8ct.
6mm Oregon Sunstone studs in sterling silver
Here's a great set of 7mm bicolor Oregon Sunstones set into a pair of simple and elegant sterling silver studs.
The copper schiller shines with an otherworldly glow that seems to radiate from inside the stones. Colors are green and bronzy tone. Certainly not your everyday.
Oregon Sunstone, the states official gemstone, is mined in the Eastern Oregon Outback in desolate conditions.
These stones are 6mm each, and the pair weighs just over 2.2ct.
AAA Bicolor 7x5mm .9ct Oregon Sunstone
This Oregon Sunstone may be small at only .9ct and 7x5mm, but just look at this color!
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.
Amazing Watermellon Oregon Sunstone 2.63ct
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.
Golden schiller 1.9ct Oregon Sunstone trillion
People sometimes scoff at the idea of a champagne colored Oregon Sunstone. They're much more common than the pinks, reds, or greens, but sometimes they can be just as beautiful.
The fact that they're more common also means a very affordable price.
This 1.9ct Oregon Sunstone trillion is champagne in color with a little bit of copper schiller to add some extra sparkle. In the sun, you'll see shades of pink and green in it as well as that golden champagne color.
The size is perfect for a ring or a pendant at 8.3mm.

In addition to the gorgeous color of this stone, the cut is exquisite. The concave cuts in the stones pavilion give it an added dimension of sparkle.

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.
