This stunning Oregon Sunstone gem is highly desirable due to its intense orange and attractive display of schiller.
“Schiller” is unique to Oregon Sunstones. This is when copper particles are suspended within the feldspar crystal looking like sparkles inside the gemstone. This phenomenon is 100% natural and what makes Oregon Sunstone so unique.
