Oregon Sunstone Sublime

Photos do not do this stone justice.  This Oregon Sunstone is a beautiful Asscher Cut designed to highlight its rust colored center surrounded by a yellow/greenish halo. The stone weighs in at 1.9 ct and has a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5 hence it is best utilized in low contact jewellery like a pendant, earring or broach.  Oregon Sunstone is famous for its scintillating Schiller Effect, which can be seen in the final photo as a mini aurora borealis through the centre of the stone when the light hits it just right.
