AAA Bicolor 7x5mm .9ct Oregon Sunstone
$30.00
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.

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.
Bicolor cushion Oregon Sunstone 8.83ct
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
