TUCSON 2009! Wow....this was a great year for Oregon Sunstone! "Mined and Made in America" seems to really resonate with buyers this year. We sold gorgeous sunstone beads, finished jewelry and loose gems....and were busy!!

The #1 Item at our booth this year was the new 5 stone 'journey' sunstone pendant in sterling silver and in 14k.....they flew out the booth.....more are on the way and will make it to the website soon! This is like having your own collection of various colors of sunstone....and YOU can wear it!!

It's great to be feeling positive about the future of American Gemstones!
