HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Sunstone, also known as “Sunlight Stone,” belongs to the feldspar family. Its name is derived from its natural copper or iron inclusions that sparkle under light exposure, emitting a sun-like golden-orange glow.

Sunstone has a rich background in mythology and history. In ancient Norse culture, sunstone was considered a navigational gem. Although it did not have actual navigational capabilities, it symbolized the sunlight and destination that sailors hoped to see, making it a lucky stone carried during voyages. Over time, it also came to symbolize joy and hope. In ancient Greek culture, sunstone was connected to their sun god, Helios, and was frequently used in various rituals and adornments to link with the god’s power and vitality.

Sunstone is also commonly used in modern crystal therapy, employing its positive and masculine frequency to promote optimism, dispel fear, increase vitality, and enhance life enjoyment (“joie de vivre”).
