Sunstone Pencil Point Assorted Crystal with Cap Pendants

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pendant: Sunstone Pencil Point Assorted Crystal with Cap Pendants (shop SKU VOGP).

Sunstone is a feldspar that can show a glittering, spangled flash (aventurescence) from tiny inclusions, in colors from pale gold to reddish orange. In crystal traditions, sunstone is associated with warmth, leadership, and a cheerful outlook. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
