Unicorn Stone

I hadn’t heard about Unicorn Stone, until recently. When I first read about it, I wondered if there’s actually such a thing.

While it’s not actually made by unicorns, one look at the crystal would tell you why it’s named that way. The powerful but gentle combination of pink, purple, and white calls to mind the ethereal creatures, making you ponder that perhaps a higher being had a hand in its creation.

Upon receiving the crystal into my home, I immediately thought that might be the case. Unicorn Stone is simply brimming with positive and calming energies that soothe me to the core.

If you have been thinking of getting one yourself or maybe have just purchased one and looking for a guide on how to use Unicorn Stone, you’ve come to the right post. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about this extraordinary crystal, including its benefits so you can set your intentions right from the start when you are programming it.

Unicorn Stone is neither a singular mineral in its own right nor a variety of a particular stone. It’s actually a unique fusion of lepidolite, cleavelandite, pink tourmaline, and smokey quartz, with clear quartz sometimes added in. It also has natural lithium inclusions.

It’s also a relatively new discovery. Currently, it’s only mined in one place in Madagascar.

Unicorn Stone is available in different shapes and sizes. The three most popular forms it takes are palm stones, towers, and jewelry.

Jewelry can be anything from necklaces to bead bracelets. They are very popular since they can be carried anywhere.

For meditation, I recommend getting either a Unicorn Stone palmstone or pointed crystals, also known as towers. Palmstones can be placed on either one or both of your hand(s) while meditating.

Meanwhile, crystal points are perfect for creating crystal grids. Crystal grids are excellent for manifestation rituals. Before starting your ritual, make sure to state your intention first.

Unicorn Stone may have only a few benefits for the physical body, but it still has a profound healing effect.

• Detoxification

  By working on the chakras, Unicorn Stone helps in removing toxins from the subtle bodies. It promotes overall health and well-being.

• Reproduction

  Unicorn Stone may help promote fertility in both men and women. It helps them release unhealthy patterns of belief that may be hindering their ability to conceive a child.

• Stress

  Stress brought by intense and constant fear can be toned down by Unicorn Stone. It may also help fight symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and muscle pain.

Unicorn Stone Emotional Benefits

Unicorn Stone shines best in its emotional healing abilities. Here are some of its powerful effects:

• Anxiety

  If you’re frequently experiencing anxiety, you may want to consider having Unicorn Stone near you. Unicorn Stone is a powerful calming stone that helps you stay present and level-headed.

• Calming

  Even if you don’t often have anxiety, Unicorn Stone may still be a great help if you need a quick calming effect. Whenever you find it hard to meditate, put a Unicorn Stone close to quiet your mind.

• Transition

  Unicorn Stone can help you stay grounded, focused, and calm during challenging circumstances. When facing difficult situations, we may feel negative or polarized emotions that could lead us to take actions we’ll regret in the future. This crystal will aid us in realizing that even if profound change is coming, we will be okay in the end. It also helps us in moving forward as we embrace positive changes.

• Joy

  Changes can be difficult, but Unicorn Stone can help you concentrate instead on life-affirming positive experiences that you will still go through. It instills hope, joy, and positivity even during the darkest times.

• Inner Peace

  Unicorn Stone may also help bring inner tranquility, which can be hard if you’re experiencing a transition, such as moving into a new home or getting a new job.

• Empathy

  This stone promotes kindness, compassion, and gratitude.

• Balance

  It helps us find balance and release negatively perceived energy.

• Communication

  Unicorn Stone can be an excellent ally if you find yourself struggling to express yourself. It promotes good communication between you and other people.

• Self-Confidence

  Unicorn Stone also promotes self-love and acceptance.

Unicorn Stone Metaphysical Properties

Of course, Unicorn Stone also has a number of metaphysical properties, such as:

• Protection

  Unicorn Stone brings safety and protection against psychic attacks, malicious entities, and harmful vibrations. It casts a natural filter around you to shield you against negativity.

• Creativity

  This brightly colored crystal is also unsurprisingly a stone of creativity. When you are experiencing a creative block, hold a Unicorn Stone in one hand or place it nearby in your workroom to get a boost of creativity.

• Spirits

  It also has the power to connect with spirit guides. It helps you communicate and understand the messages your guides are sending you, bringing you closer to spiritual awakening.

I’ve talked a bit about meditation and crystal grids in the previous section, so by now you know they are very handy to be used in both.

Now, when you meditate with Unicorn Stone, it’s important to set intentions first before starting. Write it down or speak it clearly. Then, take a deep breath and feel the crystal’s energy permeating throughout your entire body, filling your whole being with light. When you are done meditating, make sure to thank the stone for its assistance.

Unicorn Stone Chakras

Unicorn Stone particularly resonates well with the heart chakra.

• Heart Chakra

  Found at the center of the chest, the Heart Chakra is the center of love and compassion. When this chakra is activated, we connect more with others. We also feel we are more giving and receiving of other people’s love.

Combining Unicorn Stone with other crystals can enhance its powers. Here are some of the best crystals to pair it with:

1. 

   Citrine

   Sun-kissed Citrine pairs perfectly with Unicorn Stone’s warm and cheerful energy. Citrine also enhances confidence and promotes joy.

2. 

   Amethyst

   Amethyst has always been a popular crystal because of its ability to promote healing at all levels. It also brings inner peace and calm.

3. 

   Black Tourmaline

   A powerful grounding stone, Black Tourmaline helps you gain mental clarity and focus even during difficult times. It also fights stress and depression.

4. 

   Selenite

   Selenite is a bit different from the others on this list. It’s not only a healing crystal, but also a cleansing stone which is perfect for Unicorn Stone. It can purify the latter from negative energies.

5. 

   Rose Quartz

   Anyone would love the combination of Unicorn Stone and Rose Quartz. Both have the power to heal emotional wounds and bring inner peace.

Like most crystals, it’s essential to cleanse and charge Unicorn Stone. It will keep them free from negative energy. It’s especially important for Unicorn Stone because it soaks up a lot of negative emotions and harmful energy for you.

When cleansing and charging a Unicorn Stone, remember not to use harsh cleaners. With a Mohs hardness level of 7 to 7.5, it can still be damaged. Moreover, it has a lepidolite content which is very soft in comparison with other minerals on the crystal at a level of 2.5 to 3.

Here are some methods I recommend:

• Running Water

  Holding a stone in running water for about a minute each can both cleanse and charge many hard stones. Access to a natural spring is always best, but faucets also work as long as the stone can be completely submerged. You can also place them in a fountain to allow the water to run over the stones. Dry with a soft cloth when you remove the stone from the water.

• 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.

• 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.

• Breath

  Some crystals can be cleansed with your breath. All you need to do is hold the stone in your hand (the dominant hand is best), close your eyes and focus on your intention to clean the stone. Take a deep breath and fill your air with the intention. Blow out the air in short spurts over the crystal to remove any negative energy. You will typically need to do this for 30-60 seconds per stone.

• Crystal Charger

  There are many tools that can help charge your crystals. Whether you use a pyramid, large selenite plates or bowls, or grids, you can enhance the powers of your stones as you charge them. As with other methods, you should set an intention when placing your stones on a crystal charger.

• Visualization

  Visualization is a safe and powerful way of charging any of your crystals. Take time to center your energy and ground yourself, then pick up the sone in your hands. Focus on filling your hands with a radiant light through visualization for a minute or two. Focus on removing the negativity from the stone, allowing it to be cleansed and recharged with purpose. You should be able to feel the energy within the stone shift into positivity.

Conclusion

Unicorn Stone is perhaps one of the most beautiful opaque crystals I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder this crystal has become associated with the magical because of its appearance. However, beyond that, Unicorn Stone offers many healing and spiritual benefits. Although it’s rare, it’s certainly worth to have.
