About Sunstone

Sunstone is a feldspar with small copper or hematite inclusions that scatter light in golden flashes — the aventurescence that gives the crystal its fire. It carries the frequency of direct sunlight, which is why it lifts seasonal depression and post-burnout fatigue.

Vikings used a crystal they called 'solarsteinn' for navigation in cloudy Arctic waters — likely an iolite, but the name stuck to sunstone in the folk tradition.

Healing Properties

Chakra & Element

Sunstone works primarily with the Sacral · Solar Plexus chakra and the Fire element. This is why it tends to appear in healing work around sacral-related concerns — the frequency of the crystal resonates with this energy centre.

How to Identify a Real Sunstone

Common fakes: Goldstone (man-made glass with copper flecks — the copper gives the sparkle).

How to tell the real thing: Real sunstone has a subtle, metallic shimmer from natural hematite or copper inclusions — it looks like light caught deep inside the stone. Goldstone has a uniform, dense, obviously-sparkly look like glitter suspended in resin.
