The sunstone strands are approx. 38cm long and strung for transport. We recommend that you always replace the transport thread with suitable knotting material.
The faceted balls have a diameter of approx. 3.5mm.
In gemstone medicine, sunstone is used when a stone with an uplifting effect is needed. Sunstone strengthens an optimistic attitude towards life and directs the view to the sunny sides of life. One's own strengths and abilities are (again) more strongly perceived.
The mineralogical name for sunstone is aventurine Feldspar; the reddish color and the glitter are caused by tiny inclusions of Hematite and other iron oxides. A nowadays obsolete name for sunstone is heliolite or heliotite.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
