I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and have enjoyed rockhounding for years. These two things came together for my wife an I in 2019 when we discovered Oregon Sunstone, the State's official gemstone.
The colors it comes in, and the amazing copper "schiller" that give it a sparkle like no other gem, convinced us to go into business, at first just on Etsy and social media but eventually to our own website.
We primarily sell to jewelers who then make custom pieces from our stones, but we do welcome individuals to purchase from us.
We don't have a brick and mortar store, but are able to meet people in the Eugene/Springfield area over coffee and love to allow you to browse the gems to see what you might like to take home with you.
We also now offer custom jewelry made offsite by a third party, so we can literally make anything you desire.
