Kunzite, although not truly discovered until the early 20th century, due to it’s wonderful coloring and peaceful demeanor, is quickly becoming a popular women’s stone, cared for most deeply by Goddess worshipers.

This stone teaches us to go with the flow of life, like a meandering creek, content with it’s part in life. It is a protective stone, radiating peace, connecting one to Universal Love; producing loving thoughts and communication.

Kunzite helps when one was required to grow up too quickly, restoring lost trust and innocence. Quite favorable for removing emotional blockages, it is told to combat feelings of inferiority, and has a pronounced calming effect on one’s heart. Kunzite will reveal the emotional blockages one holds from the past, so they may be understood, and dealt with so one may move on; as one will never move forward without facing the past.

Offering a calmness to accept situations that are out of one’s control, particularly old buried experiences that have caused deep emotional discomfort, Kunzite has the power to dispel and dissolve this pain. Healing of this emotional debris frees up one’s emotions, healing heartache, and allowing one to trust the inner self once again.

It is said that Kunzite is a wonderful addition to a car to keep the driver calm during traffic disturbances and back ups, as well as for protection and removing obstacles from one’s path. Kunzite is helpful in allowing and assisting one to compromise between one’s personal needs and the needs of others, as well as encouraging a kind humility and willingness to serve while still holding one’s self worth, and keeping one’s self esteem intact.

Enhancing creativity, Kunzite promotes maturity in thought while allowing one to maintain the openness of childhood. Assisting one to be open, loving , strong and vibrant, with a grounded sense of security which will not infringe on one’s state of freedom.
