About the Item

An Incredibly Beautiful Precision Cut 8.47ct Oregon Sunstone faceted by the Owner of All That Glitters - L. Allen Brown. Rough hails from the famous Dust Devil Mine. Initial 36+ct piece of rough was trimmed and preformed (yield was 23% - typical expectation is only 20%) - see image below. Body color seemed to be clear to the standard champagne frequently seen from this locality. There was a spot of color to the side - and depending on the axis it was viewed on, it was either a green or a blush color, due to the fact that Sunstone is dichroic and one can frequently expect to see a red or green from this locality depending on how it is viewed. There was some haziness perhaps around this color zone, possibly being some Copper Schiller, but it wasn't obvious. As the gemstone was being faceted, at the prepolish stage, one could see that Schiller was definitely present and it was unknown if this would be a plus or perhaps running across the gem in a way that would hinder the brilliance and interfer with the beauty of the finished gem. After the final polish and soaking off the dopping material, the finished gemstone is incredibly beautiful and brilliant. Many surprises are present - the body color seems to be Champagne but because of that small color dot on the side, one can see Green as well as some Blush, and possibly a Copper color coming from the Schiller(??). The gem seems to color shift depending on the lights, going from various body colors - under office fluorescent lights, it appears to be a yellow green, but one can see more of a blush or even beige under different lights/wavelengths. Whatever light it is under, the 100k Diamond Polish displays a mirror-like surface and it is very brilliant - as it is turned/tilted, various colors flash around this piece. Though it has Schiller, it is hidden at the angle at which it grew, with respect to the table. This is one of those gemstones that one must see in person and under various lights as the photo and the video just doesn't do the various colors justice as the eye sees something far more interesting than what the camera has captured! Shape is a Shield with a Brilliant bottom which is why it sparkles so much. Thanks to Peter Torraca for providing the design. Photos displayed here include the finished gemstone; the video; the rough; beginning to facet the crown; initial crown facets are roughed in; and pre-polish is complete and schiller can be seen under the bright light. There are not many U.S. Naturally Found Gemstones, but Oregon Sunstone is One of them! It is also gaining in popularity. We have various others in inventory for those who wish red, orange, light green, more schiller, all schiller, etc. We have been digging Sunstone since 2007 in the high deserts of Oregon and we know most, if not all, of the mine owners up there!
