Sun Gemstone & Crystals
Surya is the soul (atma) of the horoscope — the steady fire behind self-belief, leadership and recognition. A well-placed Sun gives the courage to be visible; an afflicted Sun shows up as self-doubt or friction with bosses and father figures. Ruby is its gem, while garnet, sunstone and pyrite are the everyday crystals people use to invite its warmth.
