At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Unakite was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
He’s a nursing assistant working his way through college. He doesn’t want to get in much debt so he’s carefully weighing out the pros and cons of each possible career path. He has a kind bedside manner, so maybe he would be a good nurse. But, in all honesty, he wonders if he has the critical thinking skills and attention span necessary for a good RN? Lives are at stake and the job can be very stressful. Maybe he’d be happier in something more straightforward like radiology? Or perhaps there’s something else in the medical field that he might be uniquely suited for. It’s a difficult question to ponder – how can he successful help others while also taking good care of himself?
His mother also works in the medical field and she is proud of him. He’s smart, has a sweet heart and has always been able to overcome challenges. No matter which path he takes, she knows he’ll do well.

Unakite is one of the best stones for anyone working in the medical field as it encourages healers to swiftly treat painful symptoms while also looking beyond them to find the root cause of the injury or disease.

It reminds us that big changes often takes time and work and that we cannot rush the process just by wishing. Unakite is a great choice for labor and delivery, as well as for anyone in the midst of a big project. […]
