Product description
Strand of beads made from synthetic semi-precious stone SUNSTONE in the shape of a ball.
The brilliant reflections of this stone are enough to catch the attention of both jewelers and consumers, convincing them that it has something special to offer. Even in the form of specks, their intensity is comparable to the sparkle of a sunbeam, which is one of the many names it has. Although classified as a stone, it does not occur naturally in this form; rather, it is made from melted quartz and other chemical components depending on the color. For the creation of the golden variation, copper salts are added. As the mixture cools, copper produces shiny particles, each of which is a microscopic copper crystal. Other coloring agents are used for different varieties, such as chromium oxide for green, cobalt compounds for blue, and manganese for purple. Folklore tells us that the recipe for this stone was accidentally created by alchemists during their attempts to produce gold, or by monks practicing alchemy. This explains some of its commercial names: the monk’s stone, monk’s gold, or golden stone, as well as its Italian name "aventurine," derived from the root avventura, meaning luck or chance. The name "aventurine" was later applied in geology to minerals that resemble this stone.
Metaphysical Properties of SUNSTONE - Sunstone (golden stone), with its reflective surface, possesses protective qualities, making it suitable for crafting amulets. One of its cultural associations is with alchemy, from which the belief arises that it supports personal transformation. The stone is also linked to well-being, luck, and games of chance, due to its etymology from the Italian word "aventura," meaning "luck, chance, risk." It is associated with the ability to divinate and predict the future. Sunstone enhances qualities such as ambition, confidence, and risk assessment, and is known as a symbol of safe travel, good planning, and the ability to enjoy life. Due to its copper content, this stone shares the metaphysical properties of the metal: attracting abundance, harmonizing relationships, and fostering creativity. These same qualities are inherent in the solar energy it beautifully reflects. Copper is a good conductor of electricity and an instrument for channeling spiritual energy. Therefore, sunstone can be used for energy work, enhancing vitality, and charging other minerals. There are ancient connections between copper, the planet Venus, and the goddesses of love in various cultures. Thus, it can be said that wearing this stone attracts love.
