Description
This amazing Oregon sunstone is remarkable for a number of reasons. The primary reason is its size–at 15.69 carats the gem is extremely large for an Oregon sunstone. Next is the clarity–there is no schiller at all in this piece, and just the faintest wisp of a tiny feather tucked off to one edge, and invisible without a loupe. Oregon sunstones rarely are this clean, particularly when they are larger. Finally, the color is a rich deep red with zones of lighter orange-red on the two long sides of the oval. Overall the combination of size, clarity and color make this an amazing and very rare example of the finest of the Oregon sunstones. While the term is often over used, this is a true collector’s or museum piece.
I faceted this gem in my custom “Testudo” brilliant oval design, optimized specifically for Oregon sunstone. The gem is amazingly bright and scintillating in the hand. It weighs 15.69 carats and measures 18.7 x 14.2 11.2 mm; extremely large for an Oregon sunstone. This would be a remarkable center stone for a pendant or simply appreciated as a collector piece.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
