When you’re ready to take on challenges headfirst, it’s time to reach for the Iolite.  An Iolite Sphere encourages you to think through your choices and habits. It won’t let you settle for routine, and instead inspires you to do things differently to get a different result.

Said to be used by the ancient Vikings as a lens to see during their ocean voyages, Iolite is also known as the Viking Stone. Iolite enhances curiosity and helps build relationships (but no, it’s not going to help you manifest Travis Fimmel, we already checked).

One of the best stones to use in psychic healing and spiritual activities, Iolite can open the bearer to psychic talents, is excellent for meditation and astral travel and can stimulate clear psychic visions.  If you have any more luck with the Travis Fimmel thing (or Karen Hassan if that’s your vibe) – let us know.

Sunstone

A Native American legend says that Sunstone was created by the blood of a great warrior, who was wounded by an arrow. The blood, which gave Sunstone its shade of red, instilled his spirit into the stone.  Just as the sun brings life to the earth, Sunstone will breathe life into your creative spirit.  Sunstone is said to promote energy, vitality, and inspiration.  No Red Bull required.

The effervescent energy of Sunstone breeds confidence, power and leadership and reminds the bearer of the joy that creativity is meant to inspire. Use this creativity to inspire positive progress in your relationships, work, and passions.

Sunstone will encourage you to reveal your hidden talents, heighten your sensuality and put a pep in your step when it comes to romance.  Bringing Sunstone into the bedroom with your partner (or partners… no judgement here) can have a heady, next level effect, kindling and igniting the passions within.

Sunstone will also help increase your metabolism by improving your digestion and retaining your body’s vitality.  So long Jenny Craig.  I have Sunstone now.
