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

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.
2.75ct Peach Oregon Sunstone with schiller
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.

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.
Bicolor concave cut 3.85ct Oregon Sunstone
This stone originated at the Sunstone Butte mine.
This higher elevation mine (about 15 miles from the Sunstone Collection area) has an abundance of darker colored greens and bicolor Oregon Sunstones.
This one is cut in a rectangle with concave cuts on the sides to give it extra refraction. Photos just don't do this stone justice.
The stone weighs 3.85ct and measures 7.8x12mm.
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.
