Chakra Butterfly Crystal Sun Catcher

A chakra sun catcher is a hanging ornament set with faceted crystal beads that scatter sunlight into small rainbows around a room, and this one is shaped like a butterfly with beads in all seven traditional chakra colors.

The butterfly-shaped sun catcher strings faceted beads in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet — the colors traditionally assigned to the seven chakras — along a hanging cord. When placed near a sunny window, it turns passing light into small moving rainbows across the walls and floor, a favorite in meditation rooms, reading nooks, and porches.

Hang it in a window that gets direct sun for at least part of the day for the fullest rainbow effect, or simply enjoy it as colorful hanging decor even in lower light. In crystal tradition, the seven chakra colors are associated with different centers of energy running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, and displaying all seven together is traditionally linked to balance across the whole system.

It fits naturally into a chakra-themed corner of the home, alongside other pieces in our home decor collection chosen for color, light, and everyday meaning — such as our Wood Ornament.

Quick facts

Care & cleansing

Dust the beads occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid tugging on the hanging cord, and keep it somewhere it won't swing into a wall or window frame. No water is needed to clean it — a light wipe keeps the beads and finish looking bright.
