Just a picture to remind me of warmer days coming soon.

Playing with my Macro lens, the Macro expansion tube, a light box and a broken laptop hard drive, and a cleaning cloth.

Today I have macro pictures of four different sunstones. These were all mined by myself nearish Plush Oregon in the gorgeous Oregon High Desert.
Oregon Sunstones are a clear feldspar created in basalt heavy lava flows, although I have seen them in non-basalt areas. By far the most common color is yellow, but orange/red tinted with schiller (tiny copper flakes as seen below) is fairly rare, and green is the most coveted. Rarest of all though are blue/purples from the Ponderosa Sunstone Mine.
5.45 Carats, 12mm Round, red Oregon Sunstone
Both of these gems, plus several others are for sale. If you’re interested in them please let me know.
