When most people think of Oregon Sunstone, they think of the pinkish copper schiller, or maybe the bright red or reddish orange color. Some love the cool greenish blue color. The most common color, however, is champagne like this one. Sometimes, they lean towards green or pink or even a golden color like this one.
All Oregon Sunstones contain copper it’s just the amount of copper, the degradation, and the orientation that determine the color. Oregon Sunstone are always all natural and do not undergo any sort of treatment to get their color.
This stone is quite large at 3.41ct and measures 13.8×8.6mm.

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.

The size is 10x7mm, and the weight is 1.8ct.
AAA Bicolor 7x5mm .9ct Oregon Sunstone
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Green is one of the rarest colors of this magnificent gemstone.
