Sun Spot Mini, a tachyonized crystal for one room

Monday morning, the first coffee, and eight hours at the computer ahead of you. On the desk there's a monitor, a laptop, a phone on its charger, and a little further away the router is blinking. Among all that sits a small crystal that looks almost like a paperweight. That's the Sun Spot Mini, the smallest member of the Sun Spots family, and it fits on any desk.

What it is

The Sun Spot Mini is a single tachyonized crystal made for a space. It's a smaller, standalone piece, while the Sun Spots set of 4 gives you four crystals for a whole flat. Think of an air freshener: one small one does the bathroom or the car, and for a whole house you'd use several. The Mini is that one piece for one place.

There's nothing to switch on or charge. According to the manufacturer, tachyonization is permanent, so you put it on the desk or a shelf and leave it be. To look at, it's a nice stone that sits happily among books, a plant pot and a lamp.

What Tachyon says

Tachyon says in its product description on the Planet Tachyon shop that Sun Spots are crystal tools for the room that create a coherent field in the space. You can picture coherence as an orchestra tuning up before a concert: at first every instrument does its own thing, then they all sound together.

The Mini works on the same principle as the larger pieces, just in a smaller size for a smaller space. The maker sells it on its own, so you can buy one and add more later. According to the manufacturer, the set of four is the choice for a whole flat or house, and the Mini suits one room or a desk.

How people use it

The most common spot is the desk. People who work from home put the Mini next to the monitor or the router, where most of the electronics are. Others keep it on the bedside table, so it's the last thing they see before turning out the light.

In a child's room, a high shelf out of reach works well. In a studio flat, people tend to put it roughly in the middle of the space, on a chest of drawers or a bookcase. Some who go into the office take it with them and set it on their desk in the morning.

The Mini is also a good first step. Plenty of people start with one on the desk and, once they're used to it, buy another for the bedroom. If you're not sure whether a crystal for the room, a disk or a pendant suits you best, try the short quiz, which suggests where to start.

Who it suits

The Sun Spot Mini suits people who want to try Sun Spots without the larger outlay of the full set. It's a good choice for a studio flat, a single study, or a student who spends most of the day at a desk.

It's also a popular gift. A small crystal in a box is easy to give and fits in any home. More ideas by price are in the gift finder.

If you already know you want several rooms looked after at once, the set of four is worth a look. When each option makes more sense is covered in Sun Spot Mini or the set of 4. The full range of crystals for the room is in the Sun Spots category.

Care

Dust the crystal now and then with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid scouring pads and cleaners with abrasive particles. If you carry it in a bag, wrap it in soft fabric so it doesn't knock against your keys. According to the manufacturer, it never needs recharging.
