There is something quietly grounding about a sunstone in its raw, uncut form, ready to be held and lived with. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About sunstone
Sunstone is the warm, orange-red member of the feldspar family, in which tiny platy inclusions catch the light like sparks of sun (aventurescence). Its Mohs hardness is about 6. It typically measures 8 cm.
Sunstone in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of cheer, warmth and joy in life; many connect it to the solar plexus. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
Its sparkling, sunny tone makes a cheerful accent on a windowsill or working desk. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size, shape and pattern may differ a little from the photo — which is exactly what makes the stone you receive one of a kind. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources and harsh chemicals; keep the softer stones from lasting moisture as well.
