*Mokume Gane (Japanese for “Wood Grain Metal”)- Is an ancient forging technique, used by the Samurai in the decoration of the infamous Katana swords. The technique requires twohttps://sunstonestore.com/guest-artists/ or more precious metals; in our case, we use sterling silver and copper.

Each piece should be considered a one-of-a-kind as the pattern you see cannot be duplicated, but he can recreate each of these lovely designs.

Oregon Sunstones are 100% natural and never treated, because of this, there is a lot of natural variation in color. Your Oregon Sunstone may vary slightly in color from the Oregon Sunstones pictured above.
