Sunstone is a natural feldspar gemstone known for its warm golden-orange color and distinctive aventurescence - a glittering effect caused by tiny metallic inclusions that create a shimmering appearance reminiscent of the sun.
Hetian jade (和田çŽ? is a highly prized variety of nephrite jade from the Xinjiang region of China, treasured for thousands of years for its smooth texture, rich color, and cultural significance in Chinese art and jewelry.
Cultural & Symbolic Significance:

In traditional crystal healing practices, sunstone has been associated with vitality, joy, and positive energy, while jade has been valued for its protective and harmonizing properties across many cultures, though these are cultural beliefs rather than scientifically proven claims.
