Unakite is a stone of gentle energy. It heals the emotional self and balances the spirit and consciousness. It does this by clearing away emotional energy blockages from the past, which aids physical and emotional healing. This triggers the experience of self-growth with a new confidence and encourages one to live in the present, allowing one to become more centered.
