As spring approaches with the promise of more sun I found that I gravitated to the beautiful warm essence of the sunstone this week. Sunstone is known as the stone of joy. It varies from yellow to orange and even a red-brown. They have a strong solar energy and have a warm, open vibration of strength. This happy stone resonates with the base (root), sacral and solar-plexis chakras.

It is believed that the sunstone aids metabolism and digestion, which makes sense with its chakra colors. It is also thought to relieve stress, promote mental clarity and let your own brightness shine. The uplifting energy and light of the Sunstone has been known to give some relief to the seasonal disorder, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

This is a global stone found in the USA, Canada, Norway, Russia, Greece and India.  Sunstone gets its name from the color and the flashes of light that comes from the small hematite crystals inclusions in the stone.

I am currently working on a new Sunstone Collection that includes necklaces, pendants, bracelets and earrings. I hope you enjoy the beauty and warmth of this stone of joy.
