Sonora Sunrise Jasper Rings in Sterling Silver  

About Sonora Sunrise Jasper: The Red and Green Stone of Mexico

Sonora Sunrise earned its name from the Mexican state where miners first extracted it in the early 2000s. The stone contains cuprite, a copper oxide mineral that produces deep crimson sections, alongside chrysocolla, which contributes teal and green areas. These two minerals formed together under specific geological conditions that exist nowhere else on Earth. The Milpillas copper mine remains the sole commercial source. The material rates between 5 and 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for ring settings when mounted in protective bezels. Our silversmiths work with solid .925 sterling silver to create frames that shield the stone's edges during regular wear. The contrast between warm red and cool green tones makes each piece distinct based on where the lapidary cut the original rough. SilverRush Style has supplied natural stone jewelry to US customers since 2005. Every Sonora Sunrise jasper ring ships free within the United States and features the actual stone photographed—what you see in the listing arrives at your door.
