1.00ct Oregon Sunstone – Red with Lavender and Teal Highlights | Copper Schiller | 4.93 x 3.75mm | Hand-Mined from Dust Devil Mine

This extraordinary 1.00 carat Oregon Sunstone may be small in size, but it radiates rare and breathtaking beauty. Measuring 4.93 x 3.75mm, this gemstone displays an exceptionally rare color blend—a rich primary red base with mesmerizing flashes of lavender and teal blue. Scattered across the surface, a light dusting of copper schiller adds sparkle like fine fairy dust, bringing a magical, ethereal quality to the stone.

Hand-mined in Oregon’s high desert by RoseGemShop at the famous Dust Devil Mine near Plush, Oregon, this gem is not just rare—it’s personal. The vivid color palette and metallic shimmer are completely natural and untreated, making this a true collector’s gem and a tribute to the untamed beauty of Oregon’s volcanic past.

Formed 13–14 million years ago in fiery eruptions, Oregon Sunstone is a cuprian labradorite feldspar found in only a tiny region of the world. The presence of copper inclusions gives it its characteristic shimmer and wide range of color. But the combination seen here—red with lavender and teal—is exceedingly rare, especially in a stone of this clarity and brilliance.

Despite its smaller size, this gem has the presence and fire to shine as the focal point of a pendant, especially one flanked by accent stones like aquamarine, diamond, or garnet. It’s perfect for designers or collectors who understand that true rarity doesn’t always come in large packages.
