Oregon Schiller Sunstone
$51.00
Glittering Oregon sunstone cabochon featuring microscopic platelets of metallic copper, from the only place in the world where this gem occurs in southeastern Oregon. Purchased directly from small miners. Each stone contains a unique pattern of copper particles that when cut correctly reflect the light and absolutely sparkle. This stone has a very light amount of very fine schiller uniformly distributed and is clean of any flaws. Because this stone has a lesser amount of very fine schiller and a high dome it creates a single copper colored glow almost more like a moonstone than a classic sunstone. A bit trickier to use and definitely will need a black backing or oxidized backplate to get the pop of color so I discounted the price per carat accordingly.
6.4 carats, 13 mm x 9 mm x 7 mm
