6mm Oregon Sunstone Red Schiller A1

A Radiant Glimpse of Nature: 6mm Oregon Sunstone with Red Schiller (.78 cts)

In the world of fine gemstones, few treasures capture the warmth and spirit of the American landscape quite like the Oregon Sunstone. This captivating 6mm, .78-carat gem displays one of the most sought-after features in the Sunstone family: the mesmerizing Red Schiller effect. A phenomenon created by natural copper platelets suspended within the crystal structure, Red Schiller adds a unique internal fire that seems to glow from within, giving this gemstone an unmistakable presence.

The stone’s body tone showcases the soft, golden-to-champagne hues typical of high-quality Sunstone, but it is the Red Schiller that distinguishes it as a collector’s piece. When turned beneath the light, flashes of metallic crimson ripple across the interior, creating a dynamic play of color reminiscent of sunset glints over the Oregon high desert. Each shift reveals new patterns and textures, making this gem feel alive and constantly evolving.

At 6mm, this gemstone is both versatile and expressive — large enough to showcase its intricate inner shimmer, yet refined enough for elegant jewelry design. Whether destined for a bespoke ring, pendant, or kept as a curated loose stone, its presence commands attention without overwhelming the eye. What sets Oregon Sunstone apart is not just its beauty, but also its rarity and ethical origin, mined exclusively in the remote volcanic fields of southeastern Oregon.

This particular .78-carat example highlights the very best the region has to offer: clarity, exceptional luster, and the unmistakable signature of copper-rich brilliance. More than a gemstone, it is a fragment of geological history — a piece of the earth transformed by time, pressure, and fire, now ready to bring warmth and radiance to any collection.
