{"product_id":"worry-stones-sunstone-dz-1-5-1-75","title":"Sunstone Worry Stone - 1.5-1.75 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eSunstone Worry Stone cut to an oval with a thumb hollow across one face. The body colour is a warm orange to red-brown, mottled and uneven across the surface, and turned into direct light it throws a metallic copper shimmer from platelet inclusions sitting just below the polish. The effect appears and disappears with the angle, which is the material's defining behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSunstone is traditionally associated with confidence and with acting rather than deliberating, and it is one of the warmer stones people reach for when the aim is momentum. It is commonly carried, kept where a lamp will catch it, or given to someone starting something. The shimmer is strongest under a single direct light source and can disappear entirely in flat daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Confidence \u0026amp; Ambition\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Energy \u0026amp; Vitality\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Sacral, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Leo, Aries\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Dragon\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Sun\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Fire\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 6-6.5\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Sunstone\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: India\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Worry Stone\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 37-43 mm (1.5-1.7 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 12-14 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSunstone is a feldspar variety, either oligoclase or labradorite depending on the deposit, crystallising in the triclinic system at Mohs 6 to 6.5. Its orange to red-brown colour and metallic shimmer both come from platelet inclusions of hematite or goethite suspended through the feldspar, and that shimmer, called aventurescence, is the same optical mechanism found in aventurine quartz. Oregon Sunstone occurs in volcanic lava flows in Harney County and is the official state gemstone of Oregon, the only North American gemstone to hold that status; it occurs in clear, yellow, orange, red and a rare bicolour red-green variety. The Oregon material has been known to Native American peoples of the region for centuries and is held sacred by some Oregon tribes. Commercial material comes from Oregon in the USA for the fine red variety, and from India, Norway and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
