Product description
String of beads made from synthetic, semi-precious stone SUNSTONE in the shape of a ball
The brilliant sparkles of this stone are enough to capture the attention of both jewelers and customers, convincing them that they have something truly special to offer. Even in the form of specks, its intensity rivals the shine of a sunbeam, which is the origin of one of its many names. Although classified as a stone, it doesn’t naturally occur in this form but is created from melted quartz and other chemical ingredients depending on the color. For the golden variation, copper salts are added. As the mixture cools, the copper produces shimmering particles, each a microscopic copper crystal. Other coloring agents are used for different types, such as chromium oxide for green, cobalt compounds for blue, and manganese for purple. Folklore suggests that the stone’s recipe was accidentally created by alchemists during their attempts to produce gold, or by monks practicing alchemy. This explains some of its trade names: Monk’s Stone, Monk’s Gold, or Goldstone, as well as its Italian name "aventurine," derived from "avventura," meaning luck or chance. The name "aventurine" was later applied in geology to minerals that resemble this stone.
The Sunstone, also known as Goldstone, with its reflective surface, possesses protective properties, making it suitable for crafting amulets. One of its cultural associations is with alchemy, from which comes the belief that it supports personal transformation. The stone is also linked to prosperity, luck, and games of chance, due to its etymology from the Italian word "aventura," meaning "luck, chance, risk." It is also associated with divination and the ability to predict the future. Sunstone enhances qualities such as ambition, confidence, and risk assessment, and it is known as a symbol of safe travel, good planning, and the ability to derive enjoyment from 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 solar energy, which the stone so beautifully reflects. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and a tool for directing spiritual energy. Therefore, Sunstone can be used in energy work to boost vitality and recharge other minerals. There are ancient connections between copper, the planet Venus, and love goddesses in various cultures, so it is believed that wearing this stone can attract love.
