Unakite
Unakite is a study in contrasts. On the one hand it’s a durable, strong, and tough rock that makes an excellent construction material. On the other, it’s quite lovely and known for its softly romantic shades of pink and green. This means you’re as likely to find it as the base layer beneath your road as you are art on someone’s shelf or a pretty bead on a piece of jewelry. Valued for masculine strength and feminine beauty in equal measure, you can think of unakite as proof that feminine and masculine qualities, rather than being at clashing odds, work best when balanced in harmony together. You can also think of it as a reminder that we can never be truly loving without also being strong, or endure for long in this world without love. If this rock is showing up for you now, it may well be asking you to consider the balance between the masculine and feminine in your own life and feel free to release yourself from traditional gender stereotypes.
The Bottom Line
UNITE
“Integrate your masculine and feminine sides.”
One Or More Of These Messages Are For You
- If you’re usually soft, pliant, and receptive, learn to assert yourself and go after what you want.
- If you tend towards rough, gruff, and forceful, learn to be more vulnerable and receptive to others.
- Be on the lookout for a special person who is soft-hearted and kind, but still practical, strong, and assertive.
- If you need to make a decision, be sure to listen to both your head and your heart.
- Just because you’re tough and practical doesn’t mean you can’t also be sweet and loving.
- You may be someone who seems feminine and soft on the outside, but has a strong, tough core, or just the opposite, with a gruff exterior hiding a soft, open heart.
- If you don’t fit neatly into the gender binary, please know you’re just as worthwhile, valuable, and lovable as those who conform to the norm.
