The Sonora sunset stone, also called Sonora sunrise,  is made up of green chrysocolla, red Cuprite and  black tenorite.  The stone is named  after Sonora, the state in Northwest Mexico The Milpillas Mine produces this magnificent stone, which is  northwest of Cananaea, a city in Sonora. This is a small mine that does not produce much, so the continued availability of this unique and beautiful stone is unknown.
