Oregon Sunstone Miners Association
The association has decided to accept Associate Members to allow those who purchase from association miners to also display the OSMA logo.
To qualify for associate membership an individual or company that sells Oregon Sunstones, or jewelry containing Oregon Sunstone, must be sponsored by a board member, apply for associate membership and pay annual dues of $350.00. Associate members may use the OSMA logo and the fact that they are a member of OSMA, to represent that they are selling 100% natural Oregon Sunstones from the Lake and Harney county mining areas.
