Comment: New at Wild Fish: Copper-bearing Oregon Sunstone. Here in a strong golden orange with a very visible copper-sheen and some silvery iridescence. Sunstone is sure one of the most unpredictable gems in the world. Lately besmirched by nasty treated feldspar from China, but now back on its feet, with extra glamour, still a rare find of which we are happy to have secured a very top 1% end of four different mines (Plush/Burns). The orange does especially well under tungsten light, while the sheen comes out extra strong in normal daylight or sun. See also the near-dark image. These gems never cease to surprise. Though the BGL reports does tell you all there is to know, we will add an AGL report if you so request. We have made many double certs without surprises and suggest to buy an acre of rainforest instead (as you wish).
