Silver Playful Otter Pendant with Sunstone

The High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon is home to "Brook & Rogue", North American River Otters. Our Playful Otter Pendant was inspired by these two otters. In the center, is a Peach Oregon Sunstone, Oregon's State Gemstone.

Otters are highly frolicsome, spirited and lively creatures. Some common river otter playtime activities include somersaulting, wrestling, flopping & sliding. Otters are mostly nocturnal, so you are lucky if you see them at playtime!

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.

*Schiller is a “phenomenon” unique to some Oregon Sunstones, where copper particles are suspended within the feldspar crystal appearing as sparkles inside the gemstone. This phenomenon is 100% natural and every Oregon Sunstone that displays Schiller is completely unique.

The Sunstone Store’s passion for Oregon Sunstone comes from its unique qualities and local roots. Oregon is the only place where copper-bearing Sunstone can be found, creating a brilliant spectrum of natural colors. As Oregon’s Official State Gem, it’s a symbol of regional pride. We support sustainable practices that provide valuable jobs for Oregonians.
