Those last couple stones made it worthwhile. Looked like what is called mystique colored. Very $$$$ color!

Awesome Sunstone mate 💯👍💯 Btw, What I associate with sunstone is the stone that we Vikings used to navigate the sea in fog or cloudy weather. (🤭) A theory exists that the sunstone had polarizing attributes and was used as a navigational instrument by seafarers in the Viking Age. - Sunstones are also mentioned in the inventories of several churches and one monastery in 14th-15th-century Iceland and Germany.

Awesome video, Dominik! Thank you so much for educating us about sunstones!👍👍👍👍👍

Oregon Sunstones are probably my favorite kind of Feldspar gemstone. The ones with red, green, and copper Schiller are amazing and sometimes if you're lucky you will even get some that have "common moonstone" flash due to the layering, too.

Nice to meet you , thanks for the minerals and shirt✌

Very true! The last location we made a video on will be crystal park in Montana coming up in a few weeks. We hit up a few other spots but didn’t make videos everywhere.

Dusty work but well worth it. Sunstone is gorgeous 😍

Sunstone is my favorite stone... Hope to see more sunstone digging. Wish I can dig some too... It's just so pretty... ✨🌼🌇

Good job man we came by your concession stand in Arkansas

It's worth it to pay for the belt run and to get a couple more people in for the buffet deal.

I did a belt run afterwards and found the digging more rewarding. I would like to get a premium pile sometime. This mine definitely offers a variety of options for alternate needs.

Awesome to meet y’all as well! This is a really cool mine and the material is worth a lot so you definitely get your money’s worth. It’s very remote though!

I'm curious as to whether or not Sunstone could be mistaken for rose quartz or vise versa?? Excellent video. So badly wish I could afford to travel and visit some of these locations that are out of the state of North Carolina thank you for sharing and the education value of your videos

There are 2 different common names for "Sunstone" on the Internet. "Oregon Sunstone" is unlikely to be confused with rose quartz. The look of the rough is completely different than rose quartz in daylight given it's translucence and coloration. There's another type of "sunstone" that is opaque (Norway, India, Africa) and does look like a rose quartz with more orange specs and "adventurescence" in it and is typically shown in connection with shakras and crystal healing, but when you polish or facet it, the look is completely different. I would not consider it "gemstone"...more like colored rock that has shimmer. Oregon Sunstone Feldspars are definitely crystals. There are other feldspar crystals that are mined and used for jewelry, but the Oregon Sunstone is the only "known" location that has copper shiller. You can buy tumbled chips, rough, or finished faceted stones on places like etsy. If you look up "oregon sunstone" vs "sunstone chakra" you'll easily be able to see the differences.

Oregon sunstone is never pink, and shows perfect cleavage, so would be hard to confuse with rose quartz.

Nice

Can you tell me what put this was at the mine? I want to go here this spring and the pit you were working is one of the best out of the videos of people digging in the various pits.

I loved this pit for sure! I think they called it the green pit because it had a lot of green colors in the sunstones. It was kind of straight back behind the little shop in the trailer. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! Appreciate the kindness

How much do they charge for you to dig some stones there?

So what the Vikings used to allegedly navigate with and called sunstone wasn’t really sunstone at all? I read somewhere else that it was selenite but that wouldn’t be very good on a salty sea. Had something to do with double refraction or something like that. Thoughts?

It were probably bigger and very clean calcite crystals or rather crystal fragments, in German known as Doppelspat.

Swinging that pick way too hard. I think lighter less potential breakage. There’s always a way to equal the speed of breakdown with a less invasive or more finessed approach…
