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.

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.

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.

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.
Huge 22.91ct tri-color Oregon Sunstone
Oregon Sunstone, the always natural and untreated state gem is a rare feldspar containing copper, which gives it not only a wide range of colors, but also the aventurescent quality called "schiller" from thousands of microscopic bits of copper inside the stone.
Usually, these crystals get only as large as 60-70cts before being cut. Often, bigger crystals have fractures, which makes cutting large stones over 10cts difficult.
This stone, however, is not the norm. It weighs a massive 22.9ct and measures 23x17mm. It's the largest stone in my inventory. Just being large isn't the only thing that makes this stone special, though. The tri-color green, pink, and gold or "mystique" color is one of the rarest for Oregon Sunstone. Watch the colors shift and move as the stone turns.
The concave cutting on this gem also ads to the brilliance, giving it a radient shine. It is truly a one of a kind masterpiece.
