Nunderite

In this article, I’ll be discussing the meaning, uses, and benefits of nunderite. I will also include other important info, such as the best crystals to pair it with, its associated chakras, and the proper way of cleansing your nunderite stones.

While crystals have been used throughout time to heal medical and emotional ailments, the information in this blog is not to be taken as medical advice. Additionally, you should always follow the advice of medical professionals per their diagnoses. Crystal healing should only be seen as supplemental.

Nunderite is a lovely brown stone with little green patches on the surface. It’s a relatively new stone, which is why information about this is currently scarce. There’s even a disagreement about this stone’s origin and true spelling. Nunderite is sometimes conflated with Nundoorite, which is a similar-sounding stone found in a different location.

The nunderite we speak of comes from Nundle, a village in New South Wales, Australia. On the other hand, “nundoorite” is said to be discovered and mined in the Nundoora Station, which is approximately 668 miles to the west of Nundle. It’s possible that nundoorite stones were once mined in the said region in NSW until the source was depleted.

Right now, the stones we commonly see in the market may be nunderite, which comes from New South Wales, particularly in Nundle and Broken Hill.

Nunderite is brown andalusite with speckles of green epidote and is said to have the healing properties of both specimens. It’s also considered to be a rock rather than a mineral. However, the nunderite tumbled stone is quite popular and easily obtainable. Once polished, the rocks exhibit gem-like quality akin to that of brown andalusite, quartz with microcrystalline systems, and jasper.

Meaning of Nunderite

Nunderite is believed to have strong connections with the earth. It’s said to be helpful in grounding us in nature, especially when we feel all over the place. It also aids in balancing one’s emotions and bringing harmony to their surroundings.

Some lightworkers and crystal healing practitioners also believed that nunderite might be used to connect to the land. It’s helpful for people in a foreign country who feel they don’t belong.

It’s also an excellent stone for environment and nature workers, who seek to heal the Earth using the nunderite’s restorative energies combined with human efforts.

Nunderite has many uses and benefits. However, its greatest strength lies in emotional healing and spiritual awareness. Below, I’ll discuss in detail the incredible abilities this stone has that may help you a great deal.

Nunderite Physical Benefits

While you should always check with a medical professional first for any signs of physical illness, some crystal healers have noticed that nunderite has restorative and soothing effects. Now, there aren’t many known physical benefits of nunderite since it was relatively new to the public, but it’s been noted to relieve pain.

It also releases us from negative attachments to toxic individuals and relationships.

Nunderite Metaphysical Properties

Nunderite has plenty of metaphysical uses, too. Here are some of them:

  If you feel out of sorts and disconnected from your body, nunderite will help ground you to Mother Earth, which makes a lot of sense because it’s an earth stone. It’s a great tool to be used in meditation because of its strong grounding energies. It promotes focus and awareness, too. It also helps you stay in the present moment, instead of being disrupted by anxiety and stress.

  It also helps us adapt to change. The stone will keep us grounded during times of transition.

• Insight

  Nunderite gives us the wisdom to make the right decisions. It gives us foresight and helps us avoid troublesome complications that may arise from hasty decision-making.

You can wear nunderite as a piece of jewelry (necklace and bracelet are good choices) or put it in your pocket as a talisman. Carrying nunderite with you helps you stay connected to the ground and nature. Of course, you can also use it during meditation sessions. Because of its grounding qualities, nunderite makes a great stone for meditation.

To meditate with nunderite, find a serene place in your home. Sit or lie down comfortably. You may wear the stone, hold it, or place it nearby. Close your eyes, then take deep, calming breaths. Visualize the energy emanating from your nunderite as it envelops your whole being and connects you to Mother Earth. Stay in this position for as long as you need.

Nunderite Chakras

Nunderite connects strongly with three of the chakras in our body: the heart, solar plexus, and root chakras, respectively. You may experience the following benefits if you meditate with this stone:

• Root Chakra

  Also called the first chakra, is located at the base of our spine. It’s the seat of our survival instinct and sense of security. With this chakra opened, we feel more safe, secure, and at peace with our surroundings.

• Solar Plexus Chakra

  Also referred to as the second chakra, is located just below the ribcage. It’s the home of our willpower, confidence, and self-esteem. With this chakra aligned, we become more confident and true to ourselves.

• Heart Chakra

  Also named the fourth chakra, is located at the center of our chest. It’s the control center of our ability to love. With this chakra activated, we become more compassionate and forgiving, without being overly dependent on other people’s approval and affection.

Cleansing and charging are important to most–if not, all–crystals. It helps them get rid of negative energy that may have accumulated over time.

There are several ways to purify your nunderite, including the following:

• Sun

  While the sun can charge your stones very quickly, you will want to remove the stone from the sun after an hour or two as the sun could discolor your crystals (even those that are sun-safe). You can set your stone outside or on a windowsill to absorb the powerful energy from the heavens. The time you need to charge your crystals will vary, but they can often be ready in just a few minutes.

• Full Moon

  Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

• Water

  As long as your stone is not water soluable and is durable enough (3+ on Mohs hardness), you may be able to put it in a bowl of lukewarm water to cleanse and charge the stone. You will want to leave the stone in the water between 2-10 hours (leaving it overnight is a good way to do it). Dry stones with a soft cloth to avoid causing damage to them.

• Ground

  Returning your crystals to the earth can refill them with energy, renewing them. Dig a hole in the earth and place a plate in the soil. Cover the plate slightly, then place the stones on top. Bury the stones and mark the place on the surface where you know where to dig. A week later, carefully remove the topsoil and remove the stones. If you reach the plate, you know you have gone too far and you may have dug up the stone.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

Conclusion

Nunderite is a magnificent stone that can support us in many ways, especially when we need grounding assistance. It helps us stay in the present and focus on what matters. It connects us to the earth and strengthens our relationships with people. Furthermore, it aids us in finding the truth about ourselves and guides us to the right path. With its soothing and uplifting energies, nunderite can help us feel safe, happy, and secure.
