Oregon Sunstone Peach Cushion Cut Schiller 1.76 Carat SUN00098

Oregon sunstones are famous for their “schiller” effect, which is caused by tiny copper inclusions which, when oriented properly, shimmer like the bottom of a copper pan. This particular stone was faceted in our shop, and the cutters faceted this stone to allow for a play of light off the back facets, giving this gemstone scintillation that you wouldn’t normally expect in a sunstone. This scintillation is apparent in the video, while the schiller is visible in the picture. Overall, this is a very nice stone and can be oriented to take advantage of either the schiller or scintillation. Due to sunstone’s hardness (6.5) we recommend setting this stone in a pendant.
