Sun Stone Pendans

Sunstone

Sunstone is a variety of feldspar that captivates with its warm glow and fiery reflections. The stone varies in color from golden-orange to reddish-brown, often with sparkling internal inclusions of hematite or copper. These tiny particles create an “adventurescence” effect – a play of light reminiscent of the glow of the sun. Commercial forms: beads, cabochons, loose stones, jewelry (rings, pendants, earrings). Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale – suitable for everyday wear with a little caution. Main deposits: India, Norway, USA (Oregon), Tanzania. Unique advantage: natural sunstone (especially Oregon) is distinguished by more saturated colors and valuable collector's qualities. Metaphysical properties In crystal therapy and esoteric practices, sunstone is considered: A stone of joy and optimism - stimulates vital energy, brings positive vibrations.

In modern crystal therapy, Oregon Sunstone has been declared the official gemstone of the state of Oregon (USA), where it has been mined for over 100 years.
