Description: This one-of-a-kind Oregon sunstone is a 2.21 carat pear cut, a graceful teardrop-shaped brilliant cut with a single point. It shows warm orange, red and yellow sunstone tones, with fine copper schiller glittering inside the stone. It was dug at the Spectrum Sunstone Mine near Plush, Oregon, by the owner of Rubble Rock and Gem and hand-cut by our cutters in Jaipur, India. Watch the dig in “My Oregon Sunstone Trip” on YouTube.

Oregon Sunstone is a copper-bearing labradorite feldspar that formed within ancient basaltic lava flows in southeastern Oregon. Copper incorporated into the feldspar is responsible for the distinctive yellow, orange, red and green colours found in this material, and tiny copper platelets can produce a glittering effect known as schiller. The best-known deposits occur in the remote high desert around Plush, Oregon, and Oregon Sunstone is the official state gemstone of Oregon. 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.
