Oregon SunStone!
SUNSTONE IS A PLAGIOCLASE FELDSPAR, WHICH WHEN VIEWED FROM CERTAIN
DIRECTIONS EXHIBITS A BRILLIANT SPANGLED APPEARANCE; THIS LED TO ITS USE BY THE
VIKINGS TO LOCATE THE SUN FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. IT HAS BEEN FOUND IN
SOUTHERN NORWAY, SWEDEN AND IN VARIOUS UNITED STATES LOCALITIES.
A variety known as Oregon sunstone is found in
Harney County, Oregon and in eastern Lake County
north of Plush.
Oregon sunstone contains inclusions of copper
crystals. The copper leads to variant color within
some stones, where turning one stone will result in
manifold hues: the more copper within the stone, the
darker the complexion.[8]
On August 4, 1987, the Oregon State Legislature
designated Oregon sunstone as its state
gemstone by joint resolution
