There are six types of schiller (copper inclusions) occurring in Oregon sunstone. This deep red Oregon sunstone has speckles of copper looking like champagne bubbles, especially visible from the side (see photos). Schiller that doesn’t overwhelm the color or clarity of the sunstone, as in this case, combined with the interest it adds, increases the value. Collectors look for this very feature and with color like this, off the charts vivid deep red, it is a true collector’s gem. However, it sure would look great in jewelry too! Precision faceted by Loren Brown in a beautiful design by Robert Long.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
