A little piece of living nature: this sunstone, as a polished, hand-tumbled stone, honours the stone's origin. Tumbling rounds and polishes the stone to a silky finish, so it feels pleasant to hold and looks lovely in a bowl, a crystal grid or carried in a pocket.
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 kb. 1–5 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.
