Amazing AAA bicolor 2.3ct Oregon Sunstone pear

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.

This stone looks a lot like a very expensive sunset tourmaline, but it's not. It's a bi-color Oregon Sunstone with shades of pink and gold. The concave cutting ads an extra dimension to this gorgeous gemstone that glistens and gleams with warm tones. This stone would look stunning, set in rose gold, yellow, or white gold. The choice is all yours. This stone measures 12.5mm across and weighs 5.75ct. Good sized stone for a ring or a pendant.

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.

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.
