The pale yellow and clear material like this is prized for its transparency and subtle warmth, and because Oregon Sunstone is domestic and fully traceable, it carries real appeal for designers working with provenance-conscious clients. Feldspar has perfect cleavage in two directions, so take care with setting pressure and avoid ultrasonics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47851900764347,"sku":"OSB109","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/oregon-sunstone-bead-155x9-2-16mm-243ct-oregon-usa-osb109-2431174.jpg?v=1779276491","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/oregon-sunstone-bead-155x9-2-22719","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
