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 multicolor appearance, which is rare in my experience with this material. There is a mix of the typical "champagne" color, along with coppery tones and light blue-green shades. This stone is a very nice quality, "Fan" 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 is actually nearly eye clean, which is uncommon, and it looks very nice in any kind of light. Don't miss ouf on this great U.S. gemstone.
