Sunstone

Sunstone is a vibrant orange-gold stone with a sparkling, metallic sheen called aventurescence, caused by tiny copper or hematite plate inclusions that catch and reflect light. It radiates warmth and energy like a captured piece of sunlight.

In Norse mythology, sunstone was believed to guide Viking sailors across the North Sea even on cloudy days. In ancient Greece, it was associated with Helios, god of the sun, and was believed to bring good fortune. Native American cultures used it in medicine wheel ceremonies to connect with the sun's healing power.

Sunstone boasts energizing and uplifting properties, often used to boost confidence and motivation. It dissipates fearfulness, alleviates stress, and increases vitality. It is particularly powerful for those who give too much of themselves, as it encourages setting healthy boundaries and honoring one's own needs.
