Unakite is a type of granite that is composed of several different stones including epidote, pink orthoclase, and quartz.
It is a natural enhancer of emotions and will absorb and magnify any energy it comes in contact with. This is why it is especially important to make sure you are cleansing your unakite often.
Because, if your unakite is exposed to negative emotions, it will likely absorb them and only enhance how you are feeling.
Cleansing a crystal means that you are allowing it to return to its natural, neutral state. This means it is no longer holding onto any energies it may have previously been exposed to.
When you cleanse a crystal, it will be completely free of any blockages, so it is able to work to its full potential. You’ll know when your crystals are fully operational because they are keeping you feeling rejuvenated.
Unakite is a very hard, dense crystal. This means it can withstand many elements that softer stones cannot. However, it is still important to try to preserve the physical properties of your unakite as much as possible, which is why the methods below are recommended for your crystal.
3 simple methods to cleanse unakite
Each of these methods listed below are gentle ways to cleanse your stone without tarnishing it. They are powerful methods for reinvigorating your unakite.
To cleanse your unakite, we recommend using visualization, sage or a selenite bowl. Visualization is the quickest and most affordable option. Let’s explore each method together.
Method 1:Cleanse your unakite with visualization
Visualization is often viewed as a fairly intimidating form of cleansing. This is because the process involves very little distraction.
However, it is the safest way to cleanse a crystal, so it is definitely an option to consider. Start by taking a few minutes to gather your thoughts. You’ll want to be very centered and grounded when beginning this process. Once you’ve spent some time zeroing in on your intentions, pick up the stone. Visualize your hands filling with a bright, white light.
As you stare at the stone, imagine the light getting brighter and growing bigger until it has engulfed the stone and your hand. As the light gets larger, think about all of the negative energy being completely cleared from the stone. As your stone becomes more cleansed, the light will shine brighter as the impurities are washed away.
This process should last several minutes.
Method 2: Cleanse your unakite with sage
Sage is another great way to cleanse your unakite safely. When you burn the bundle of sage, it will release waves of smoke that will clear the stone of any impurities.
You should always begin by opening a window to ensure that your space can remain fresh during this process. Then, light the sage. Once it is lit, you can either wave it around near the stone or place it into a fire safe bowl near the stone.
As the sage burns, use your hands to direct the smoke toward the unakite. Picture in your mind the negative energy being eradicated from the crystal. Continue this process for several minutes. You can also enhance the ritual by saying a chant or a prayer.
Method 3: Cleanse your unakite using a selenite bowl
Cleansing the unakite in a selenite bowl is also a safe and more hands off way to clear the impurities from the stone. The selenite itself is a powerful crystal, which does not need to be cleared. This is because it naturally transmutes negative energy entirely on its own.
In order to cleanse a stone in a selenite bowl, place the crystals into the bowl. You can decide the exact number of hours that you want to keep them in the bowl, but the longer the better. If you can leave them overnight, this will be the best for cleansing purposes.
How to charge unakite crystal?
Since unakite is a more tough stone, there are several ways to recharge it. However, cleansing it will often give it all the charge it needs. If you want to be extra sure, you can leave it out under a full moon or keep it in a selenite bowl for extra time.
How often do I need to cleanse unakite ?
There is nothing wrong with cleansing your unakite more frequently, but a general rule of thumb is to use one of these methods once a month.
Conclusion:
As you can see, there are various ways to keep your unakite free from impurities. The exact method you choose is entirely up to your own preference. You might consider trying all three to find which serves you the best.
Just remember, using these safer methods is always recommended over a more harsh cleansing. Using a selenite bowl, sage, or visualization will protect the physical properties of your stone while also rejuvenating its spiritual properties in the process.
Hopefully next time you are ready to cleanse your crystals, you will try what you’ve learned here!
