Hi Chaka,

Thanks for ordering with healing crystals and your kind words.  We get a lot of requests regarding clearing negative energy from crystals.  Below are two links to help you clear the negative energy in the unikite.  We also offer the online clearing of the crystals through tones.  I've included that link as well.  Releasing negative energies from crystals is very effective.  Give it a try!

Unikite contains "rebirthing" energies.  It brings to light blockages that may inhibit spiritual and psychological growth.  So I'm wondering if the Unikite is "bringing up" something that is ready to be released?  If this doesn't resinate with you,  you may want to stop using the unikite for a few weeks so you can "test" the weight gain.  If you're changing your diet, your body may need to recalibrate to the new foods you're introducing as well as to the foods you're no longer eating.  We do carry some excellent crystals to facilitate weight loss and hunger if you're interested.

Crystals I'd recommend for weight loss are: 

Iolite which reduces fatty deposits in the body and supports liver detoxification,

Kyanite releases excess weight, and

Seraphinite and green tourmaline promote weight loss. 

Apatite is another crystal that could help with the weight issue as it supresses hunger and raises the matabolic rate. 

Many Blessings on your journey.

Love and Harmony,

Mimi

Hi.

I am a frequent customer of your site and I have been nothing but pleased with the service and blessed specimens I've recieved, thank you!!!

My question is how do I release (get rid of) the energies of a stone I've recieved? Is giving the stone away or having the intention of releasing the effects of the stone effective? I ask because the Unakite stone I have has stimulated weight gain despite all efforts to lose weight plus I've also recently have become vegan and I didn't have a problem until I acquired Unakite. So, as much as I love the this stone I'm eager to find a way to negate this side effect.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
