Besides being the State Gemstone of Oregon, the Oregon Sunstone is a gem grade Feldspar Crystal. Oregon has several mines which produce these fantastic gems.

 

 

 
Here's a listing for (3) 1 pound bags of rough, Oregon Sunstones for Tumbling. All of these Sunstones are yellow colored and a few have copper shillers.

Agate Specimens

Oregon Agates, and many other agate specimens from around the globe!

Petrified Wood

Even though Petrified wood could be called a fossil, I'll still keep an area just for wood specimens.
