History of SunStone:
For its entire existence since the discovery of the mineral, it has never been appreciated as a valuable crystal. But the magical effect and healing effect made it possible to improve the situation and health of people in different eras.
- In India and Ancient Greece, it was one of the main components of magical rituals. One of the special properties that the mineral is endowed with is the ability to be a conductor between parallel worlds and establish contact with the departed. This property was also used by the ancient Indians.
- During the Renaissance, the legend was passed from mouth to mouth that Sunstone allowed the heavenly bodies to be controlled. Although she was not acquitted. The
- Swedish chemist Jan Berzelius gave the crystal the name “sodium spodumene ” in 1824 .
- A couple of years later, the German mineralogist August Breithaupt gave it the name oligoclase .
- It was appreciated at its true worth in 1841 after a case when an amazingly beautiful stone was discovered in the Andes mountains, resembling in appearance the sun. On the territory of the Russian Federation, it was actively mined in 1933.
One of the legends says that on the first day when God created the world and water, the Sun admired its beauty all day, but once seeing the pensive Moon, it decided to establish contact with it. But the closer it got to her, the further the Moon was. 7 days the heavenly body tried to see the stranger, and on the eighth his tears appeared, which turned into sun stones.
Once upon a time, the Vikings were not familiar with the magnetic compass, but they could easily find their way on the high seas. One of the ancient sagas of Iceland says that at the beginning of the tenth century, an episode was discovered where it was impossible for the Vikings to navigate by a heavenly body. It says about the brave captain Konung, who did not see the Sun in the sky, it was cloudy. It was covered with clouds, then he looked into the sunstone and saw its beam.
In addition, in 1967 T. Ramscoe, an archaeologist from Denmark, suggested that the mineral played the role of a crystal-polarizer. In fact, by looking at the sky through it, it was possible to discern the degree of polarization and determine the location of the Sun, which was important for navigators at that time. This method worked before satellite navigation and radio compass were invented. Sunlight becomes polarized due to the clouds. To date, scientists have become interested in this unique property of the mineral and have confirmed it.
Evidence that the Vikings really used the crystal as a navigator is its finding by archaeologists on an ancient ship that was built in the tenth century. Its properties are perfectly preserved, which proves its strength.
