Sunstone melts away fears and self-doubt, as well as the sense of unworthiness, feelings of being discriminated against, disadvantaged or abandoned. It emanates a rich and positive spectrum of energies that re-balances one's emotional patterns, and encourages optimism and enthusiasm. It can help transform anger into energy and judgment into joy. Sunstone is an ideal crystal to connect with when you are trying to get things done! It is aligned with the true essence of masculine energies: action, decisiveness, resilience, forward movement, strategy, leadership and more.

This gem helps release limiting beliefs, encourages self-esteem and self-confidence and serves as an ally in connecting with a stronger knowing of one’s authentic self! Sunstone can be cleansed and recharged with intention under sun rays (make sure you don't leave stones under direct sunlight for extended period of time; they might lose color).
