6mm Oregon Sunstone Red Schiller A2

6mm Oregon Sunstone Red Schiller – 0.70 cts
A Unique Gem with Natural Mineral Inclusions

The 6mm Oregon Sunstone Red Schiller, weighing 0.70 carats, is a captivating example of one of the most distinctive gemstones found in the United States. Known for its natural metallic sheen and warm, fiery coloration, this sunstone displays the highly sought-after “Schiller” effect—an optical phenomenon caused by light reflecting off tiny plate-like inclusions within the crystal. In this gem, the Red Schiller produces a glowing, coppery-red shimmer that moves gracefully as the stone catches the light, giving it remarkable depth and character.

This particular 6mm round specimen showcases the rich, earthy tones that Oregon Sunstones are celebrated for. From soft blush undertones to deeper ember hues, the stone exhibits a dynamic range of warm color that enhances its brilliance. Unlike artificially enhanced or treated gems, Oregon Sunstones are completely natural, and each one carries a unique internal landscape. In this stone, you can clearly see natural mineral inclusions—delicate, glittering copper-bearing platelets suspended within the crystal structure. These inclusions are responsible for the gem’s signature sparkle and create visual interest that sets it apart from other feldspar gemstones.

At 0.70 carats, this sunstone is an ideal size for a variety of jewelry settings, whether featured as a central stone in a ring, pendant, or pair of custom earrings. Its durability and natural hardness make it suitable for everyday wear, while its rare geological features give it undeniable collector appeal.

The Oregon Sunstone Red Schiller is more than a gemstone—it is a piece of the American Northwest’s volcanic history, captured in crystalline form. With its vivid color, radiant luster, and visible mineral inclusions, this 6mm sunstone offers both beauty and authenticity, making it a standout choice for gem enthusiasts and jewelry designers seeking something truly distinctive.
