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.

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. 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.
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.

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.
