In many ways the heart chakra is the most important of all the energy centers. It is located in the center of the body and governs the balance of the upper three and lower three chakras. If the heart chakra is clear and open, all of the other chakras come into alignment with it. The heart extends its circulation to the entire body and all systems and tissues are nurtured with vital force. Just as the heart pumps oxygenated blood to feed all of the body’s cells, the heart chakra radiates its dynamic influence to all the chakra centers. Kunzite manifests the matured state of heart; open, clear, secure, strong, vibrant, radiant, balanced and loving. As Kunzite grows in popularity, it indicates that more people are evolving to the point where they can and will reach the full potential of their own heart.
Fluorite manifests the state of inner mental balance and Kunzite expresses emotional equilibrium. Fluorite escorts the consciousness into the inner sanctums of the mind while Kunzite enables the inner dimensions of the heart to be experienced. Kunzite will connect one to their own infinite source of love. In natural form Kunzite has parallel striations running the length of the crystal. Whenever you see striations like this (see Tourmaline) it indicates that energy will move through the stone at an extremely rapid rate. This accelerated motion of energy will automatically raise the vibration of any surrounding elements. In doing so, many lower negative energies are dissolved and dissipated.
Kunzite is one of the main heart chakra trinity stones. Its purpose is to prepare the internalized self-love (which Rose Quartz has initiated) to be offered in external expression. This stage of development involves a total surrender and letting go of the fears and sorrows that bind the heart to the past, or to anxious anticipation of the future. Kunzite is an ever-active state of the present, existing in the perfection of the moment. When Kunzite is placed or worn over the heart chakra points, its energy penetrates through emotional blockages and allows one to experience the purity of their own inner heart. Since the soul abides in the body at the heart chakra, the Kunzite experience gives one direct contact with their own essence.
When Kunzite is observed closely, both pale pink and light purple color rays can be found. This represents the ability that Kunzite has to create a balance between the mind (purple) and the heart (pink). Kunzite will channel its energy from the heart into the bead to transform the thought patterns that are associated with emotional blockage. Only when both the thoughts and the feelings attached to those thoughts are neutralized, can a complete healing occur.
Kunzite will usually reflect a clear ray of light pale pink. In gem quality, Kunzite manifests the purest transparency of any stone in the pink spectrum. This crystal clarity is the main reason Kunzite has earned its place as one of the New Age Stones. It symbolizes a pure expression of joy in thoughts and feelings. It is the state of activated self love that has been made ready to freely give, unconditionally, without demands or expectations. When used in conjunction with pink Tourmaline, Kunzite’s cheerful light heartedness is directed out into the world.

Kunzite also offers itself as a powerful personal meditation stone. It can be used to balance negative emotional states and/or troubled mental states. To practice this meditation, sit with the straight spine and hold a piece of Kunzite to the center of the chest. As you inhale, fill the heart with Kunzite’s purifying energy. Hold the breath momentarily as you visualize a pink ray rising up to the third eye center. As it reaches the brow, exhale and mentally project a light purple-pink ray back into the heart. Continue in this fashion for 11 minutes and marvel at the results. This meditation will clear the mind, calm the emotions, and leave you in a peaceful state of balance.
When Kunzite is placed on the heart chakra during crystal healings, a Clear Quartz Generator Crystal can be rotated in a clockwise direction two to three inches above it. This will guide the Kunzite force into the inner realms of the heart and seal the aura against negative outside influences. If you remain very focused, the terminated end of the quartz crystal can come to rest directly on top of Kunzite stone. At this time, channel your own healing thoughts through the crystal. This will charge the Kunzite with even greater force. This is an advanced technique and should only be used when the recipient is ready and able to consciously let go of their fears. Charging Kunzite with a Clear Quartz in this manner raises the energy to such a high frequency that it will cut through any blockages that bind and constrict the heart chakra.
Kunzite is an ideal stone to give to children who are having a hard time adjusting to and functioning in life. Kunzite’s soft pink ray will comfort their hearts and cleanse any auric shadows that have accumulated by being in dirty or negative vibrations. Kunzite is also a good stone to be worn by star children or walk-ins to help them adjust to earth plane environments and energy.
Kunzite is a special gift to our earth. Its presence emits a deep sense of peace and balance. It is the expression of the evolved open heart that understands all things, that is above and beyond attachment, that knows utter compassion and that is eternally free from fear.
