The stone of joy and optimism.
Orange and glittering, sunstone lives up to its name: it’s said to revive joy, optimism and vital energy when spirits are low. It’s a solar stone, one to reach for on grey days.
Where moonstone welcomes emotions, sunstone relights the flame.
Its golden glitter comes from tiny flecks of hematite or copper. The Vikings are said to have used it to navigate at sea; it was linked to the sun in many cultures.
For low moods, low energy, or rediscovering your zest for life.
Carry it on grey days, hold it in the morning as you set a joyful intention, or set it on your desk facing the light. What matters isn't the stone itself, but the attention it invites you to bring to yourself: a crystal is an intention you hold in your hand.
Cleanse it under running water for a few minutes or with smoke (sage, palo santo), then recharge it overnight under the full moon or on a quartz cluster.
