Sunstone is said to have been revered by Nordic people for its ability to radiate sunlight on even the gloomiest days. Sunstone helps us see the light and warm positivity in any situation, as impossible as it sometimes feels. It reminds us that we are never alone, that even the darkest events in our lives hold rays of purpose and lessons. Sunstone helps us to see that there is another way to see every situation. For those that suffer from seasonal depression, it can help to lighten our mood and remember that all of this is supposed to be fun, that this is all a game, and not to take everything too seriously. Sunstone is a gem for friendship, forgiveness and levity. "I am here to cheer you up! Now go and do something nice for yourself". Associated with sacral and solar plexus chakras.
