Oregon sunstone is a type of feldspar that is found in the state of Oregon in the United States. It is known for its distinctive reddish-orange to yellowish-brown color, which is caused by the presence of copper in the stone. The color can range from pale to deep, and the stone can be translucent to opaque. Oregon sunstone is also known for its aventurescence, which is a glittery effect caused by tiny copper platelets within the stone.

History of Oregon Sunstone

The first known discovery of Oregon sunstone was in the early 1900s in the southeastern part of the state. It wasn't until the 1980s, however, that the stone began to gain popularity as a gemstone. Today, Oregon sunstone is mined from several locations throughout the state, and it is a popular choice for jewelry.

Characteristics of Oregon Sunstone

One of the most unique characteristics of Oregon sunstone is its aventurescence, which is caused by the copper platelets within the stone. This effect can give the stone a sparkling, almost glittery appearance. Another notable characteristic is the stone's hardness, which ranges from 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes Oregon sunstone suitable for use in jewelry, although it may require some special care to avoid damage.

Oregon sunstone also has a unique color that sets it apart from other gemstones. The stone's colors can range from pale yellow to deep red, with some stones exhibiting a combination of colors. The stone's transparency can also vary, with some stones being completely opaque and others being nearly transparent.

Uses of Oregon Sunstone

Oregon sunstone is primarily used in jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and earrings. Its unique color and aventurescence make it a popular choice for designers looking to create one-of-a-kind pieces. The stone is also sometimes used in carvings or sculptures, although this is less common.

How to Care for Oregon Sunstone

As mentioned earlier, Oregon sunstone has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is not as hard as some other gemstones. This makes it important to take care when wearing and cleaning Oregon sunstone jewelry. To clean the stone, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoid using any harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. It is also a good idea to remove Oregon sunstone jewelry before engaging in activities that could cause damage, such as sports or heavy manual labor.

Conclusion

Oregon sunstone is a unique and beautiful gemstone that is growing in popularity among jewelry enthusiasts. Its distinctive color, aventurescence, and relative rarity make it a special addition to any collection. By understanding the history, characteristics, and uses of Oregon sunstone, you can appreciate the beauty of this gemstone and make an informed decision when purchasing Oregon sunstone jewelry.

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.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
