12.10 ct Natural Red Oregon Sunstone Rough, Photographed Dry,Single Piece

Description

Thank you for viewing this eBay listing.  A miner friend asked me to sell this and several other pieces of Oregon Sunstone rough for him. Some of the Sunstones are good for faceting, some are good for cabbing, and some are intended as specimens.
As I’m using the same text for several different pieces of the Oregon Sunstone rough I’m offering for sale on eBay, please view the photos in this listing to see what item or items you will receive if you purchase this auction
The miner said Oregon Sunstone rough normally wholesales between .00 and .00 per ct depending on the size of the size, color, and the clarity of the stone.  The miner also said almost all of pieces that I am listing can be made into cabochons or faceted and most have something he called “schiller.”  He said schiller is something gem cutters want to see in Oregon Sunstone.
Although I was told this Oregon Sunstone would look much better if I photographed it wet, I photographed it dry to better show its true appearance.
Almost all of the red Oregon Sunstone I am selling for the miner is over 10 cts. I’m offering this sunstone below miner’s normal wholesale prices for rough.  Several pieces of the red Oregon Sunstones I’m selling are partially covered with the lava rock in which they were formed, the miner said there could be some real treasures beneath the lava rock.
The photos in this listing have not been altered.  I used natural sunlight for some of the photos and, to shine light through each stone to show its clarity, I made a light box a cardboard box.  I took several magnified photographs of each piece of Oregon Sunstone hoping they will show every possible detail.
Note: In the event of any typos in this listing, the item in the photos is the one you will receive if you win this auction.  Also, the lava rubs off easily, so the weight may be slightly different when the Oregon Sunstone arrives.
I will happily combine shipping.  If you buy several items and pay before I am able to send an invoice, at about 8:00 pm Pacific time, eBay may add an additional shipping fee per item. When this happens, I'm sorry, but quite often don't notice that I should have issued a refund
I’m very sorry, however, due to losses totaling over ,000 in items shipped out of the USA, unless you are a regular customer or you wish to use FedEx, International orders will be shipped via eBay’s Global Shipping Program.  Please feel free to send a message if you have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE: Some countries don't allow gemstone rough to be shipped to their citizens.  Please check with Customs before making your bids.  If you live in one of the countries that don't allow gemstones to be imported and you buy from me, I will issue a refund and not ship the item.
I have almost 100% positive feedback.  I offer a 14 day refund with return shipping paid by the buyer.
