We are doing an insurance replacement appraisal for several pieces
of Oregon Sunstone as the main My wife is a GG and we have
all of the specifics for the stones, but we are finding that values
for comparable stones are all over the place. Our partial description
of one of the stones is as follows:
“Freeform sunstone feldspar carving measuring 24.31 mm by 8.41 mm
with an actual weight of 9.31 carat. This sunstone is pink in color
with weak tone and saturation. This stone has a specific gravity of
2.70. No pleochroism was detectable due to the saturation of the
stone’s color. This gemstone has opaque rounded copper platelets in
parallel strips giving this stone a random distribution of delicate
aventurescence throughout the stone.”
We have several pieces to appraise, an 0.84 carat triangle and three
freeform carvings, 9.31 carat, 22.31 carat and 26.06 carat. All are
cut and polished very well. The freeforms are drilled at the top to
be suspended on a cord or chain.
Does anybody have an idea of what these stones might be worth either
by carat weight or net? Or where we might find some comparables?
Thanks!
