A stone that instills the same warmth of the sun’s glow, this crystal promotes a light hearted optimistic outlook on life. With a rejuvenating energy that breathes energy and excitement into any situation; sunstone works well to inspire, motivate and lift even the lowest of moods. Due to a characteristic similar to aventurescence called schiller, sunstone is sometimes referred to as “aventurine spar”. This quality occurs due to tiny copper inclusions, that when viewed from certain angles, give the appearance of illumination from within. Sunstone promotes that same glisten from the inside, encouraging a positive energy that radiates inspiration, creation, and motivation. 

This crystal facilitates the ability to help both the self and others through leading by example and displaying self-nurturing, self-acceptance and unwavering confidence. Sunstone embodies the phrase “Lead by example”. By facilitating a connection to the creative self, this crystal encourages one to manifest the life they wish. When we shine from within, we are aligned with our truest self, and this helps others feel the will to do the same. Sunstone has long been associated with wealth, abundance and the self-confidence needed to produce success in all areas of life.
