Grading of Oregon Sunstone is determined by the above classifications, or a combination of them.
Almost all colored crystals have some form of Schiller. Schiller is particles of suspended copper that
forms within the crystal. Copper is the main coloring agent in Oregon Sunstone, therefore colored
stone with no Schiller will receive a higher price value. Schiller makes identifying a natural untreated
cut stone or rough much easier. Copper Schiller is something like rutile in Rutilated Quartz and
creates uniqueness unmatched by any other. Schiller comes in many forms, from heavy saturated
deposits within a crystal to a single wire strand. Common terms used to describe the look of this
phenomena are, plate(s), banded, barred, feather, vale, wires, snowflake or speckle (tiny dots), but all
enhance the beauty of the finished stone.

The following is a list of colors found in Oregon Sunstone, from the most common to the rarest.

Yellow (Champagne, greenish-yellow)
Schiller (Pure Copper Particles within the Host Crystal)
Orange Red, Copper Red (Cinnamon)
Watermelon (Red surrounded by Green)
Bi-Color (Dichroic)
Pigeon Blood Red, Maroon Red
Dichroic and Trichroic (Color Shift)
True Red
