Sunstone with shiller

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 peach hue which is not seen very often in this material, as they typically have a soft yellow "champagne" hue. The gem has a "Checkerboard Round" cut. Typically, many of the stones from this area have what is called a "shiller" which is a shimmer in the stone caused by copper inclusions, and you can see a fair amount of shiller in this gem when rotated in the light Don't miss out on this great U.S. gemstone.
