Unique “Fanta Orange” Oregon Sunstone 3.5ct
$262.00
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.

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.

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.
