MATERIAL: Natural untreated FELDSPAR Var. Green-Pink Orange 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 Sunstones, 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, 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.


WEIGHT:
 1.74 Ct  

 

SIZE:  9.8 x 7.0 x 5.0 mm  Calibrated size: NO (The word “Calibrated” means that size of this gem was optimized to fit most inexpensive mass produced jewelry setting. Any non-calibrated gem can also be set into jewelry. Ask your local jeweler for details). For customers who are not familiar with metric system: 1 inch is 25.4 millimeters. 

  

CUT: Master cutter precision designed and masterfully hand cut in Europe  PEAR Brilliant. One of very few gems we have recently purchased. Master Cutter:  SVEN - EU Master Cutter Degree – all Ravenstein Germany cutters have between 13 and 43 years of gem cutting experience.


COLOR: A truly amazing and extremely rare nature’s wonder:
 Blend of Medium Green-Bluish and Pink-Orange with Gold Flashes and Perfect Touch of Copper Schiller. Color intensity and it´s type is changing based on angle of view. One of the best and most valued type of color. This is a really rare and amazing color adding even more value to this unique natural gemstone. One of the best and most valued type of color worth $320 per carat! Only the real Oregon Sunstone is considered a Precious Stone and some of these colored Sunstones rival the best Emeralds, Green Tourmalines, Padparadscha Sapphires, Golden Beryls, Imperial Topazes and Rubies. Colors and color mixes of many Oregon Sunstones are extremely unique and beautiful, absolutely unseen in ANY other natural gemstone!! If you want a truly one of a kind, valued gem, invest in one of these colored Sunstones. You will not regret your decision; I simply guarantee that. And the value will only go up, and FAST.

 

COLOR RARITY RANGE 1 to 10:  Blue Green 10,0 – Green 9,0 – Pink Orange (Padparadscha) 8,0    Red 8,0 – Purple 8,0 – Color Change 8,0 – Pink Red Gold (Imperial) 7,5 – Dichroic Two Color 7,5 – Watermelon 7,5 - Tri Color 7,5 – Bi Color 7,0 – Orange 7,0 – Schiller 6,0 – Pink Peach 6,0 – Yellow Gold 4,0 – Pale Tan 3,0 – Colorless 1,0


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: Based on current International pricing guides this gemstone is worth $ 900.- USD . 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 $8/ct. The Pastel Yellow and pure Gold colored Sunstone is more valued than Colorless and most popular jewelry sizes are sold at $15/ct range. Larger yellow gems up to 8,00ct are offered at $30/ct and large investment sized gems above 8,00ct usually sell at $40/ct range The Pinks and Tans, with and without Schiller, commonly range up to $50/ct depending on the effect type and intensity. Good AAA Schiller gems above 3,00 Ct typically sell for $65/ct. The opaque and included Cabochon stones are modestly priced, usually below $10/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 $50 - $500/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 $1700/ct, according to Sinkankas, and at $1000/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 $600/ct to $4500/ct range. The vivid “Padparadscha” Pink Orange can fetch up to $1,800 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.
