A short video showcasing my trip to the Spectrum Sunstone mine in Plush, Oregon with my father to hunt for Oregon sunstones. Follow-up videos to come after our stones are sorted, organized, and faceted.
The sunstone has a hardness of 6.5-7.5. Fairly hard stone actually. And that line is called a cleavage plane. The naturally fracture on those planes. ✌️ Nice gemstones.
