Sunstone cabochon

This cabochon is a gilded arrowhead, sculpted from a captured sunset to pierce through clouds of shadow and doubt! Sunstone is widely considered a stone of joy, vitality, abundance, and self-empowerment. Its shimmering internal light (aventurescence) is believed to dispel fear, stress, and negative energy, replacing it with optimism and a "sunny" disposition. The triangular or "trillion" shape in lapidary is known for maximizing the return of light (brilliance and fire), which perfectly complements the stone's natural internal sparkle. Metaphysically, the triangle is a powerful shape associated with harmony, manifestation, and balance. The pointed apex of the stone is believed to help focus and direct energy. It is considered an excellent tool for setting clear intentions and "pointing" them toward manifestation. The three sides of the triangle represent various trinities, such as mind, body, and spirit; or past, present, and future. The shape is thought to bring these elements into alignment and harmony. Traditionally, triangular shapes were associated with fire and masculine energy. This form is often used in crystal work for protection and for taking decisive, dynamic action to achieve one's goals.
