This natural black chalcedony sculpture, carved by renowned American lapidary master Steve Walters, features elegant carving contrasted with a rough stone texture. The sinuous sculpture is set with an exceptional cabochon of Oregon Sunstone which was cut to perfectly showcase natural bands of copper schiller. A single, natural pink diamond finishes the brooch perfectly.
The hand-fabricated 18kt mounting allows this piece to be worn as a brooch or hung from a variety of necklaces.

OREGON SUNSTONE
Sunstone is a member of the feldspar family. While sunstone is found in localities throughout the world, Oregon Sunstone is the exclusive locale for sunstone colored by the presence of copper. This creates a range of beautiful colors which are unique to the Oregon source. Oregon Sunstone also exhibits an affect known as copper schiller (or aventurescence); this phenomenon is most easily described as a metallic glitter which appears suspended within the gemstone.
