Navigate like Leif Eriksson
Looking for new Viking adventures? Let this wondrous calcite stone guide you to new shores and discover the world of Leif Eriksson and his contemporaries for yourself. Around the year 1000 AD, Eriksson was the first European to discover the land that is now the American continent. The so-called 'solsteinn', the sunstone, served him as an ideal navigation aid. This crystal is the perfect tool for your journeys into the legendary Viking Age and should not be missing from any authentic re-enactment collection.
The compass of the Vikings
Barbaric raids, enslavement and destruction ' the trademarks of the Vikings are still widely known today and are depicted and revived at medieval markets. In addition to cruelty, the Vikings also symbolize rich trade, fascinating craftsmanship and great adventures.
The young seafarers from the North Sea and Baltic region set out from their homeland in their dragon boats in search of fame and fortune. On their sea voyages, they were primarily guided by the stars and the sun, although uncertain weather conditions made their journeys more difficult. The Vikings used the sunstone to locate the sun behind clouds, fog or even at dusk.
Fascinating Viking technology
The technical function of the calcite stone is extremely interesting. To determine the exact position of the sun, you look through the crystal. The calcite refracts the light of the sun into two beams of light, so that the stone must now be turned until both beams of light are equally intense.
