Sunstone

Item Description

One of the most exceptional things I have seen from the United States is Sunstone from Oregon. This material comes in a myriad of colors ranging from yellow, orange, red, green and even blue in rare cases. Aside from the the extremely rare blue variety, the most hard to find color of this material in good size stones is red. This stone has a beautiful champagne hue with a slight peach overtone. The gem has a "Checkerboard Trillion" cut. Typically, many of the stones from this area have what is called a "shiller" which is a shimmer in the stone, and this one does have a slight amount which can be best seen against a black background with a strong light. Don't miss ouf on this great, colorful U.S. gemstone.
