Kunzite has become ever more popular over recent years because of its reputed power as a healing stone that opens the heart to love, peace and spirituality. As a healing crystal it is indeed powerful. As well as having its own healing characteristics Kunzite also seems to soothe the mind and encourage an optimistic outlook, which many healers believe is an important part of the fight against illness and unhappiness. Kunzite is a good stone to use for crystal gazing, as the pretty, lilac coloured crystals draw your attention deep within the stone and help to heal the effects of stress and tension.

Kunzite is believed to heal mental problems, neuroses, addiction, memory loss, schizophrenia, phobias and depression. It is often used magically to help heal the mind and regain emotional balance after traumatic experiences or as part of ongoing treatment for chronic abuse.

Known to many as an 'Angel Stone', Kunzite can be used to help connect and communicate with your personal Guardian Angel or higher, intuitive wisdom. Before making an important decision it can be helpful to meditate with a piece of Kunzite and ask that you be shown how your choice will impact your future, and the future path of all those involved in the situation. Many magic users caution that whenever you ask for something from the Universe you should add the words '...for the highest good of all concerned'. Listening to Kunzite can remind you that everything you do in life impacts other living creatures and can help you to make wise decisions that will bring the most benefit to yourself and others.
