    Are you ready for the rare Solar Eclipse? Get your Sunstone now at Satin Crystals.

    There are three rituals for you to do during this eclipse. They are associated with the Earth, Sun, and Moon.

    Ritual #1: Earth Vibrations for Material Success

    • Step 1: Gather your Sunstone crystals and jewelry. Carry or wear them during the Solar Eclipse.

    • Step 2: As the Sun is blocked by the Moon, close your eyes and take a moment to reflect on what material and career-related goals you wish to achieve in this solar cycle. 

    • Step 3: Keep your Sunstone stones and jewels in your workplace, desk, or Feng Shui wealth corner. They will inspire and motivate you to achieve material success over the next several months.

    Ritual #2: Sun Vibrations for Daily Joy

    • Step 1: Place Sunstone gems and jewelry outside or near the windowsill all day long so they soak up the sunbeams of the Solar Eclipse.

    • Step 2: Program your stones to always provide happiness.

    • Step 3: Lie down somewhere comfortable and place the crystals on your Solar Plexus chakra which is just above your navel. Imagine the sun's rays burning off any dark, negative feelings and replacing them with bliss.

    • Step 4: Carry or wear Sunstone often throughout the next few months to keep you continually joyous and energized.

    Ritual #3: Moon Vibrations for Creative Manifestation

    Hi Annie, We are only familiar with the white selenite and orange selenite which you can find in our shop. White selenite is often used to seal the order from energy leaks, Connect with the moon energy, and charging other crystals. Orange selenite is popular for activating the sacral chakra which also corresponds with creativity energy.

    You can read about both here plus the different shapes of selenite. Please note that we have not extensively covered selenite yet like we have other stones but it is in the works https://satincrystals.com/pages/selenite-article

    Here is the link to our selenite collection: satincrystals.com/collections/selenite
