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 "champagne" hue, with a very slight pink-copper zone, and is a very good size stone for the material. This stone is a very nice quality, hard to find, "Checkerboard Baguette Cushion" cut gem. Typically, many of the stones from this area have what is called a "shiller" which is a shimmer in the stone. This stone has a small amount of shimmer which can be seen in the second photos, and the rest of the stone is actually amazingly clean and just beautiful. This material is becoming very difficult to find anymore in any size or quantity, so don't miss out on this one.
