MATERIAL:
Natural untreated
FELDSPAR Var. Green Dichroic Schiller
SUNSTONE
. Currently (2014) the
Hottest, fastest growing in value gemstone on US market with incredible investment growth potential
. Oregon Sunstone is by many considered the most beautiful natural gemstone ever discovered. Vast diversity of colors, many combined with copper schiller effect makes each Oregon Sunstone a one-of-a-kind original. No other gem in this world can duplicate the unique and unusual appearance of copper bearing Oregon Sunstone.
Sunstone was named after its appearance showing array of
SUN Like
colors and shimmering Copper Schiller.
Sunstone
occurs in
Magmatic and pegmatitic rocks.
Oregon mined gems are rarest of ALL Sunstones
in the world. Only the genuine Oregon
Sunstones
are found is extremely rare colors like pure Blood Red, Padparadscha, Orange, Salmon and Copper Red, and even the most valued Green or Blue Green, many of them sparkle with illusive pure Copper Schiller. This color, type and gem quality Sunstone is not found anywhere else on this planet. Oregon Colored
Sunstone
retail value lies between 300 and 4500 USD per finished carat!
BEWARE OF FAKE COLORED SUNSTONE
and Copper diffused stones currently produced in China and Thailand!
There are so called Green
Sunstones
, Red S
unstones
, Dichroic
Sunstone
and other rare types offered on the internet market, many of them being an obvious and total fakes! The new breed of “gemstone sellers” are asking top dollar per carat (typically 50 to 250+) simply to blend-in with the real gem wholesale price structures, without red flagging their fake gem by an overly low price. I feel sorry for any buyer spent substantial amount of money for an absolutely worthless piece of manmade
Sunstone
or a totally misrepresented stone (I’ve seen a great numbers of inexpensive iron oxide Confetti Sunstone from Tanzania, Africa offered and sold as Oregon Red
Sunstone)
– Give me a break!!. Some sellers are really getting away with a robbery and they do it over and over without a well deserved punishment…. If you find a nice looking gem on a well known web market place, it does not mean that it is real or valued. Get educated before you buy!! Personally, I offer guaranteed natural and untreated genuine
Sunstone
directly from the famous Oregon mines. I hand select every stone directly at the mining site.
We can supply a certificate of authenticity for a 25.00 USD flat fee
. You can always buy with confidence from
RAVENSTEIN GERMANY
or
SAINT CLAIRE Finest Jewels
. Each gem we sell is backed up with a full money back guarantee and a lowest market price guarantee. Many dealers and even common folks are buying from me and re-sell these precision EU hand cut gemstones locally to jewelry shops and collectors. Typically you earn a very solid
200% to 600% profit
on our gems. That is 2x to 6x your original investment!
LEGEND and LORE:
Gold or Colored
Sunstone
is used well with the first two chakra areas, as it is one to inspire sensuality, romance and sexuality. It also inspires freedom, originality, independence and luck. It is also used to dissipate fearfulness, to alleviate stress and to provide "luck" in games. Warms the heart, lifts/rejuvenates the spirit.
Sunstone
brings a sunny disposition.
Sunstone
can be used for protection, grounding and life force.
ORIGIN:
Plush Mining Area, Sunstone Butte Mine, Southern Oregon High Desert, USA
. This fairly new mine (operating since 2011)currently produces the highest gem quality colored
Sunstone
ever discovered. This mine is producing
colors and color combinations not seen anywhere else
in the Oregon area (and the world). I was one of the very first gem cutters offering these amazing and extremely valued Colored
Sunstone
from this locality and until February 2014 I was buying a very large portion of this mine’s production. Very unfortunately for me (and my customers) the Sunstone Butte mine signed an exclusive deal with a well known TV Shopping Network and I’m no longer able to buy any rough from Dave at Sunstone Butte. I still have several kilos of rough left but once this is gone, you will not see these super rare Oregon Sunstones at prices anywhere near my current offers.

CLARITY:
* FLAWLESS *
Except for presence of pure copper Schiller effect. This amazing “liquid flow and sparkling” effect is caused by millions of microscopic pure copper crystals. Together with vast majority of gem sellers, I do not consider and/or grade Schiller as an unwanted inclusion. This is why you can still grade a certain gem Flawless even though it clearly shows schiller, the copper crystal inclusions.
All colored stones are graded by trainer unaided eye. All diamonds are graded under 10x magnification (GIA / International gemstone grading standards)
CLARITY SCALE:
From best and cleanest with no visible inclusions (FLAWLESS) to heavily included (P3):
FLAWLESS - VVS1 - VVS2 - VS1 - VS2 - SI1 - SI2 - P1 - P2 - P3
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE:

Since there are so many different kinds and colors of
Sunstone
, the values range widely. The least valuable form is the Colorless which is typically offered at /ct. The Pastel Yellow and pure Gold colored
Sunstone
is more valued than Colorless and most popular jewelry sizes are sold at /ct range. Larger yellow gems up to 8,00ct are offered at /ct and large investment sized gems above 8,00ct usually sell at /ct range The Pinks and Tans, with and without Schiller, commonly range up to /ct depending on the effect type and intensity. Good AAA Schiller gems above 3,00 Ct typically sell for /ct. The opaque and included Cabochon stones are modestly priced, usually below /ct. Most common 1.0 to 3.0 Ct. Greens, strong Pinks and Reds as well as smaller to medium sized Dichroic stones, Bi-colored and Tri-colored stones with and without Schiller are offered in the - 0/ct range mainly depending on the color purity, color intensity and color distribution. The second most valuable color is bright Pure Red (also called AAA Red) with large, (over 3 carat,) stones of prime color retailing at as much as 00/ct, according to Sinkankas, and at 00/ct in Federman's book. The best vivid Greens and rich Blue Greens are both extremely rare and cost substantially more than the best Reds, typically in 0/ct to 00/ct range. The vivid “Padparadscha” Pink Orange can fetch up to ,800 per carat on open retail market. As the Oregon colored
Sunstone
is becoming more and more popular, so is the price per carat increasing accordingly. Remember,
Oregon is the ONLY source
of these amazing gems! Two years ago I predicted a
strong price increase
of natural genuine Oregon Sunstones. I read the gem market carefuly and this is not the first time I told people to start investing into a certain gemstone to make lots of money fast. Colored
Sunstone
from Oregon is STILL undervalued yet extremely rare and beautiful American gemstone. I strongly advise you to invest in these amazing rare gemstones while my stock prices are still low. Another price increase in 3 to 5-fold is expected within next 48 months!
HARDNESS:
6.5 to 7.2 on Moh’s Scale
(hardness of
Oregon Sunstone
is similar to or even greater than Amethyst and Citrine, suitable for jewelry wear).
Sunstones
from other than Oregon mining regions and common
cheap
Iron Oxide Schiller Sunstones from Africa, India, Sri Lanka and other places are considerably softer and many show a different hardness layers within a single crystal/stone. Such
Sunstones
are less suitable for jewelry or may not be used in jewelry at all. Gems not mined in Oregon only share the name
“Sunstone”
, take this fact into consideration when comparing prices and values. All other
Sunstone
is colored by Iron Oxide, never shows the valued Copper Schiller and is never found in rare colors like Green, Blue Green, Red, Padparadscha, and many others.
