Oregon Sunstone Jewelry

Oregon’s state gemstone isn’t just the perfect gift for the Oregon lover, it’s a beautiful one, too. The unique feldspar stones found only in the high desert of this state range in an amazing array of naturally occurring colors from reds to greens to champagnes, and sometimes include platelets of copper, which reflect and glimmer. Steve and Elyse Douglas of the Sunstone Store have been making jewelry from this cool gemstone for decades, and even mine their own gems in the summer months. The Central Oregon Sunstone Pendants ($145-$245) are simple necklaces that will make thoughtful gifts that keep the High Desert close to the heart. sunstonestore.com
