What Is Sunstone Made Of?
Sunstone is a plagioclase feldspar mineral like Labradorite and Rainbow Moonstone.
Sunstone displays a shimmering Schiller Effect termed 'aventurescence': the stone is famed for its twinkling, sparkling flecks caused by the reflection of light between tiny mineral inclusions.
This aventurescent effect is thus named because it is also present in Aventurine: for this reason, Sunstone has also been called 'aventurescent feldspar'.
Due to this aventurescence, Sunstone displays glittering, golden metallic flashes as a result of either shimmering copper inclusions or hematite inclusions.
Oregon Sunstone tends to include copper, whilst Sunstone from India, such as this piece, tends to include hematite.
Sunstone History
Sunstone has been revered since ancient times, and has been worshipped as a representation of various Sun Gods in many different cultures due to its warm, sunny aventurescent effect and golden hues.
For this reason, Sunstone has also been called 'Heliolite' after the Greek Sun God Helios.
Sunstone Crystal Healing Properties
Sunstone is heavily associated with the Sacral Chakra: crystal healers believe the stone exudes a warm, sunny energy which enhances feelings of joy, pleasure, and creativity in its user.
Sunstone Chakras
Sunstone tends to resonate most with two of the Lower Chakras: the Sacral Chakra and the Solar Plexus Chakra.
Sunstone: Sacral Chakra Stone
Sunstone Crystals exude the fiery energy that is characteristic of the Sacral Chakra, and therefore can be used as Sacral Chakra Crystals to enhance joy, vitality, and pleasure.
The Sacral Chakra is the body's centre of creativity, passion, and bravery, and thus Sunstone Crystals embody these properties; Sacral Chakra Stones such as Sun Stones are highly motivating and associated with carnal pleasures, sexuality, joy, and desire.
Sun Stones are incredibly energising when used as Sacral Chakra Stones, evoking a highly physical sense of determination, motivation, and will-power that lends itself well to acts of courage and bravery.
A stone for leaders, Sunstone is said to ignite one's bravery and ability to lead others, as well as to encourage a spirit of creativity, experimentation, and innovation in its user: try combining a Sunstone Crystal with another Sacral Chakra Stone to give your creativity a big boost if you're feeling lacking in inspiration and creative spirit.
In addition to Sunstone Crystals, other examples of powerful Sacral Chakra Crystals include:
- Carnelian Crystals

Sardonyx Banded Agate Crystals

Sunstone: Solar Plexus Chakra Stone
Sunstone Crystals exude the sunny, joyful energy of pure sunlight; which energises and lifts one's mood; and therefore they connect strongly to the Solar Plexus Chakra.
When used as Solar Plexus Chakra Stones, Sunstone Crystals can boost motivation, will-power, and self-confidence.
Combine a Sun Stone with another Solar Plexus Chakra Crystal such as a Citrine Crystal, Yellow Quartz Crystal (Golden Healer Quartz Crystal), or Gold Pyrite Crystal to infuse yourself with the summery energy of sunshine, happiness, and confidence.
