Sunstone (cut by Brett Kosnar)

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 brilliant, rich orange-red hue and really sparkles in the light. It is a superb quality, hard to find, "Oregon Shield" cut gem. Typically, many of the stones from this area have what is called a "shiller" which is a shimmer in the stone, and is highly sought after by collectors. This stone is only very very slightly included, and is really attractive in person. This gem was cutt by Brett Kosnar in March of 2009. This material is becoming very difficult to find anymore in any size or quantity, so don't miss out on this one. The high end retail value on this gem is $1172.50. Enjoy.
