Sunstone

Item Description

One of the most exceptional things I have seen from the United States is Sunstone from Oregon. These stones are transparent Labradorite Feldspar, which is notably rare in nature, as most Feldspar is completely opaque This material comes in a myriad of colors ranging from yellow, orange, red, green and even blue in rare cases. Aside from the extremely rare blue variety, the most hard to find color of this material in good size stones is red. This "Oval" cut stone has a beautiful peach-red hue that resonate throughout the gem. The color is caused by copper content. Many of these Sunstones will have what is called a "shiller" which is a shimmering reflection in the stone, but this gem is notably clean. This material is becoming very difficult to find anymore in any size or quantity, so don't miss out on this one. There has been a surge in the price and demand of gemstones from the United States recently, and things like Benitoite, Red Beryl, Hiddenite, Montana Sapphire and even Oregon Sunstone seem to be on the rise across the board as few gems are available, and lots of people are buying them up.
