Description: This one of a kind Oregon Sunstone has been faceted in a square step cut, with clean straight sides and a broad, open table. The stone shows a smoky champagne-brown colour with soft peach flashes and visible natural speckling inside the gem. Its simple geometric cut gives it a steady, practical look while still showing the natural character Oregon Sunstone is known for.

Oregon Sunstone is a copper-bearing feldspar that formed within ancient basaltic lava flows in southeastern Oregon. Copper incorporated into the feldspar is responsible for the distinctive yellow, peach, red, green, and copper-toned colours found in this material. The best-known deposits occur in the remote high desert around Rabbit Basin near Plush, Oregon, where there is no drinking water at the deposits and access has historically been difficult. Tiffany & Co. acquired claims in the area in the early 1900s and marketed some of the clear material as “Plush Diamonds,” but the venture never developed into a lasting large-scale operation. Oregon Sunstone mining remains closely tied to relatively small independent mines and cutters today.

Metaphysically, Sunstone is associated with confidence, independence, vitality, optimism, and personal direction. It is often used as a symbolic stone for self-reliance, motivation, and moving forward with greater clarity and purpose. These associations come from spiritual and crystal traditions rather than scientifically established properties.
