4.69ct Oregon Sunstone with green, gold, and pink

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.

Catch this falling star and put it in a ring or pendant! Beautiful Oregon Sunstone in AAA Red color with fantastic coppery schiller throughout. Oregon Sunstone, the official state gemstone, is a great choice when you're looking for an unusual gem that catches the eye. Flashes of copper glisten and shine, and the warm color will have you thinking of the hot sun in August out in Eastern Oregon where this gemstone is mined. This stone is fairly large at 9.2mm and weighs 3.6ct.

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.

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.
