What is Unakite Good For?
Unakite is best known for its restorative healing properties. This crystal has four healing properties which explain what it's good for.
Healing Property 1: Balance
The first healing property associated with Unakite is balance. Particularly, Unakite is believed to help restore one's emotional balance.
This crystal can be really beneficial when you're feeling off. Maybe you've gone through something difficult and are trying to get to a place of normalcy again. Maybe you just haven't been feeling like yourself in general. Whatever the case may be, Unakite is revered for restoring emotional balance, making you feel like yourself again.
Healing Property 2: Transformation
Unaktie is celebrated for its powerful transformational energy. Unakite is a crystal you would want to have on hand when you're entering a period of change.
This could be going off to college, moving to a new city, working through a breakup, or even trying to figure out who you are as you work through your twenties. When you're getting ready to enter a period of transformation, or are looking to start making some changes in your life, Unakite is the crystal for you.
Healing Property 3: Inner Peace
The third healing property goes along with the first. When your emotional balance is restored, you're more likely to feel inner peace.
When your thoughts won't quiet and you feel constantly tense, it might mean that you have a lack of inner peace. Finding inner peace isn't an easy task, and it can be difficult to maintain. Have an Unakite crystal with you as you begin introspective work to uncover what is disturbing your inner peace.
Healing Property 4: Emotional Visibility
The final healing property associated with Unakite is emotional visibility. For some people, wearing your heart on your sleeve comes as second nature. For others, keeping your emotions to yourself is where you feel most comfortable.
If you're one of the latter, Unakite might be a good crystal to introduce to your healing process. It is believed that Unakite can help you open up and share your emotions with others. It doesn't necessarily mean you're going to cry in public all the time (although if that's the case, there's no shame in that!), it can be as simple as being emotionally vulnerable around the people you love.
These associations are what people appreciate Unakite for. Many have referred to it as the stone of vision because of these associations. If these four healing properties resonated with you as areas that you want to work on with your crystal healing, it could be a sign that Unakite is the right crystal for you.
What Chakras are Unakite Aligned With?
Unakite is primarily aligned with the heart chakra and third eye chakra. If you feel that you need to heal your heart, or that you are struggling to be in touch with your intuition, it is believed that Unakite can help realign those chakras to help you feel more centered and in touch with yourself.
What Zodiac Sign Benefits from Wearing Unakite Crystal Jewelry?
All of the restorative and transformational energy associated with Unakite makes it a great match for Scorpios. Scorpios feel their emotions very deeply and sometimes have a hard time processing them. Unakite is believed to help Scorpios confront their emotions head-on, instead of repressing them.
For a sign that also likes to do a lot of introspective work and recognize that they're constantly growing as people, Unakite can aid a Scorpio on their transformational journeys.
How to Cleanse Unakite Crystals
Crystals pick up the energies they come into contact with. This means that during the journey your Unakite took to get to you, it might have come into contact with negative energy.
There is no need to worry, this is completely natural! To get rid of that negative energy, you’ll just need to cleanse your Unakite using one of the following methods:
- Wash it in warm, soapy water. Unakite is a water-safe crystal which means you can use water to cleanse it of negative energy. Get a soft, clean cloth and put soap in it. Use the cloth to then wash your crystal element under warm water. Rinse off any soap that's still on the element and then make sure it's completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Charge it in the sunlight. Another method you can use for cleansing Unakite is leaving it out in the sun. You could either find a spot in your home that has access to sunlight or leave it outside in the direct sunlight. Make sure you aren't leaving your element in the sun for more than an hour. Sun exposure for long periods of time can alter the color of your element.
When it comes to the upkeep of your crystal, you’ll want to engage with one of the methods listed above every few months. A good way to gauge if your crystal needs to be cleansed is if it is cloudy in appearance.
Heal the Heart With Unakite Crystals
Once you’ve gotten rid of any negative energy your Unakite might have accumulated, it’s time to start using your Unakite to heal the heart.
The first step to engaging in any crystal healing is to get rid of any skepticisms you might have. Keeping an open mind about the possibilities of what your Unakite might be able to do can help unleash its full potential.
After opening your mind, you will want to set an intention for how you intend to use your Unakite. You will want to set an intention that is specific and related to the associations listed above.
For Unakite, you might consider setting an intention to let go of the past as you begin a new chapter of your life. You could also set an intention to help you heal your heart so you are in a place to open yourself up to love.
Once you’ve decided what your intention will be, hold your Unakite in your hand and speak that intention into it. This will charge your crystal to help you heal the way you intended. As you wear your element, keep your intention in mind and make choices in your daily life that align with it.
