3.53ct Peach pink Oregon Sunstone “padparadsha”
$194.00
This absolutely beautiful Oregon Sunstone is what I like to call an “Oregon Padparadscha.”
Padparadscha is a Sanskrit word that describes the color of a lotus blossom and if you’re not familiar with it in terms of gemstones, it’s a color of sapphire that is about the rarest in the world.
Instead of paying $1,000,000 for one, I offer you the Oregon Padparadscha. It is much more common and affordable, and in my opinion, just as beautiful.
This particular stone features a very clear look with no visible “schiller” which is a sought-after feature in Oregon Sunstone.
Weight is 3.53ct and measures 12×9.2mm

AAA red Oregon Sunstone cushion. 2.54ct
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.
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.
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.
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.
Green schiller 2.55ct Oregon Sunstone
Here's an Oregon Sunstone for your next ring, pendant, or brooch. This is a splendid example of a bi-color stone, primarily green but showing of some peachy schiller, especially in the sun. Be sure to look through the photos and see how she changes with LED vs. natural sunlight.
Oregon Sunstone is an all natural, never treated stone that only comes from a small area of the northeastern part of the state. The color and the sometimes extra sparkly effect called schiller come from the thousands of microscopic bits of copper, naturally infused into the stone. Green is one of the rarest colors of this magnificent gemstone.
This particular stone weighs 2.55ct and measures 6x12.5mm.
Green/peach tri-color 4.9ct Oregon Sunstone
Here's a very nice green/pink/gold tri-color Oregon Sunstone dug from the world famous Dust Devil Mine near Plush.
These colors are just amazing, and as good as the photos look, the stone is even better when you hold it in your hand.
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.
The stone measures 14x10mm and weighs 4.9ct. It would be perfect in a pendant, ring or brooch.
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.
