- Ever wonder what makes gemstone sparkle? It starts with the way a crystal reflects and refracts light. Gemstone cutters must choose a design with the right angles for that stone, so that light passes through, bounces back to the top and catches the eye of the beholder. Karl Ziltener of the Columbia Willamette Faceters Guild shows us how he turns a raw Oregon sunstone into a glittering jewel.

Very interesting.
Fascinating! I'll be looking much closer at cut gems. Oregon is full of magic.
The was educational. I liked it. Thank you.
Thank you. Really interesting!!!! Beautiful Stones!!
I went down to the Sunstone mine a few years ago, and collected thousands of these, still have yet to do anything with them, but that sure was a fun trip. Total oppisite corner of the state from Portland, and after stopping at crater lake for a quick drive by (mosquitoes were unbearable) it took about 8-9 hours!
Do you still have couple of sunstone yet?
