First discovered in Norway, the Sunstone meaning is linked with ancient Norse texts that reference the Vikings using it to navigate the seas. Thanks to tiny particles of Hematite, Sunstone gets its distinctive shimmer from light-reflecting properties, which these famous seafarers used to catch rays of light from the sun — the original form of GPS.
Sunstone has always been collected by the Native Americans living in the Warner Valley of Oregon. According to Native American legend, the Sunstone stone meaning came about from the blood of a powerful warrior wounded by an arrow. The blood from the warrior, which is said to have given Sunstone its red coloration, infused the stone with the warrior’s spirit.
Ancient Greek culture believed that the Sunstone meaning represented the god of the Sun, which lends credence to its name.
