Plagioclase feldspar
Heliolite is known as sunstone. Its scientific name is plagioclase feldspar and is related to moonstone and labradorite. The orange colors in this stone are caused by the presence of hematite and goethite crystals. These minerals also provide the orange shimmers. It is therefore because of these colors that the stone has been given the name 'Sun Stone'.
Journey to Valhalla
The name Heliolite was given to the stone in 1801 by the mineralogist Jean-Claude Delamétherie. A combination of the Greek words helios (sun) and lithos (stone). Already with the ancient Greeks, the stone was associated with the god of the sun and was worn as an amulet for luck, prosperity and wealth. This stone has also been found in Viking graves. Heliolite would help with the journey to Valhalla.
