My wife and I have been buying some finished stones to use for jewelry. We have taken a fancy to Sunstone. These are all natural, untreated and cut and faceted by hand.

The first is a flawless 18ct matched pair of neon blue green dichronic Sunstones from Oregon. In this color, quality and size this matched pair of Sunstone is probably the best available in the world today. They will be made into a beautiful piece of jewelry for my wife

Theis one is a flawless 13ct neon red Sunstone from Oregon

I will post some the others that we purchased but I thought that these being the best and rarest would be a good place to start..
Will post the finished jewelry in another thread
