Wow that’s an amazing effect! Did you choose the orientation of your rough with those lines in mind or did you orient the rough to fit the design best?
Nice work John. We see this often on the clear stuff from NSW, Australia. I usually avoid stones like this as the "blinds" can sometimes make the finished gem look hazy and lacking contrast. Is this something you've observed as well with the Oregon material? Your results close-up are certainly pretty...
We have material like what you describe. It's just unsuitable for this kind of outcome. Twinning is easy to find, actually. It's very common. Twinning that offers the opportunity for this kind of presentation is pretty rare.
HI John I am very new to this gem business. I would be pleased If you can help me identify the stone I have. I don't have your email How can I send you the videos and photos of the stone. Thank you so much !

Is any particular diagram for the sunstone or you just change the angles using software ?
Sunstone RI is very close to quartz. So, any designs you find for quartz will generally perform similarly in Sunstone.
