The stone received its name due to its place of discovery, the Milpillas copper mine in the Sonora Desert (northern Mexico). The different colors from dark brown-red to black to green-blue result from the mineralogical composition of the individual pieces. Each of the minerals for itself is not rare, but in this colorful mixture only found in the small deposit in Mexico.
The EPI Institute (www.epigem.de) found in its roentgenographic methods the more precise composition:
+ green-blue areas: Intergrowth of the copper sulfate brochantite with the green copper silicate Chrysocolla.
+ brown- to orange-red areas: Copper(I) oxide cuprite
+ black areas: Copper(II) oxide tenorite
According to Michael Gienger, stone healing knows Sonora Sunrise as a stone for dignity and beauty - the mineral can help to keep the inner balance and to take care of the necessary things in life responsibly. Sonora Sunrise is also used in stone healing to refine the sense of aesthetics and harmony, intensify dreams, as well as enliven the emotional world. Because of the Copper, Sonora Sunrise is associated with Venus, Taurus and Libra in astrology.
