New Sunstones

These gorgeous stones just arrived in yesterday's mail. Most are available for custom orders (email me for details). The stones are all mined in Oregon, and are cut by a small family business in Sri Lanka. My local suppliers have worked directly with this same family for many years and are committed to helping to improve their lives by paying them a fair and professional wage for their work and supporting their ongoing professional education, so you can rest assured that these stones are not the product of cheap mass production done by children in India or underpaid factory workers in China.
