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

This is one of those Oregon Sunstones you only see once in a while. Its depth of color is absolutely breathtaking. The dark green accented with coppery red schiller is mesmerizing.
Oregon Sunstone is rare in the world of feldspar in that it contains copper. Most stones will only show a little hint of this copper when they display a little aventurescence, that inner glow seen as it flashes in the sunlight. About 10% of these stones will display any color at all, usually a pinkish peach color. Then there's the 1%rs. Stones like the one you're seeing here that are so rare they must be used to create a custom-made masterpiece.
This particular stone is 8.83ct and measures 14.4x11mm. It would make a very impressive cocktail ring or pendant.

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.

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.
