I love this Viking solar cross amulet from Wyrdcor, both for the craftsmanship and its historical inspiration. One of the more intriguing magical items in the Viking sagas is the sunstone, an item that allowed a navigator to determine the position of the sun even in a cloudy or overcast sky. There's some compelling evidence the sunstone was an actual item, a piece of clear or translucent natural crystal that polarized light.
