When in concert with phenomenal gem materials, the work of the late Tom Munsteiner is even more impressive - that is why enjoy his work with Oregon Sunstone so much. This variety of Feldspar is well known for its range of color and presence of elemental copper platelets which catch the light and result in a 'schiller' effect. Here you have a stone that combines the contemporary carving design that Munsteiner is known for with this lovely copper flash. A great stone, finished in the highest tradition of Idar-Oberstein work. A beautiful combination of the classic colors as well - the copper-brown and the distinct green. Unmounted Munsteiner stones are always scarce in the market and this one is complete with signed certificate from Atelier Munsteiner.

If you are a site regular, then you know that we are a fan of the works of late gem artist Tom Munsteiner. The stones that came out of his Idar-Oberstein workshop are sculptural works of gem art that highlight, but do not overshadow the materials that he sourced. Here we have one of the few US materials that the atelier works with - Oregon Sunstone. Great looking, deceivingly complex design that plays with color along with a superb and dazzling copper schiller. Masterful indeed.
