Oregon Sunstone – 8.09 carats

Description

This Oregon Sunstone is from the PANA mine on Little Eagle Butte, about an hour and a half down a dirt road from Plush, Oregon. This stone has two very thin pinkish feathers that are oriented so you can see them from the side of the pavilion. Looking through the table these feathers split the light in such a way as for the stone to appear to have three centers. This one is difficult to photograph, it is better than the photos. Cut by Loren Brown of RSA Gems.
