Sunstone: chakra association (Sacral & Solar Plexus), healing properties, and what it means when sunstone appears in a dream.

Sunstone is a orange with glittery schiller crystal associated with the Sacral & Solar Plexus chakra and the Fire element. Sunstone is an orange feldspar with aventurescence — its glittery optical effect makes it appear to hold warm light within it. In crystal practice, it is associated with the energy of the sun: warmth, vitality, the natural optimism of a morning that feels like possibility. It is distinct from citrine in that it works more on mood and joy than on material abundance.

Healing properties & uses

Practitioners use sunstone for seasonal depression, for the recovery of enthusiasm after burnout, and for the cultivation of the natural confidence that flows from genuine self-acceptance rather than performance. It is associated with the freedom to be oneself without apology.
