Über das Buch:

Der Oregon Sunstone ist der offizielle Staats-Edelstein von Oregon und zugleich einer der seltensten und wertvollsten Edelsteine auf dem Planeten. Nur wenige Menschen innerhalb und außerhalb Oregons verstehen wirklich die Geschichte hinter diesem einzigartigen Edelstein und den bemerkenswerten Menschen, die ihn abbauen. Dieses Buch erzählt die Geschichte einer sechsjährigen Reise des Autors durch die Minenregion Rabbit Basin in der Oregon High Desert im Südosten Oregons. Begleiten Sie den Autor auf seiner Reise, um die Entstehung und die Geschichte hinter diesem wundervollen Edelstein zu verstehen. Treffen Sie die Minenarbeiter, die jeglichen häuslichen Komfort hinter sich gelassen haben, um in eine wilde Wüste zu gehen und um dort diesen wundervollen Schatz in der Erde zu finden.
