Unicorn Stone Quartz with Bicolor Pink and Teal Blue Tourmaline and Lepidolite, 895g, São José do Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil X919
$1,050.00
This beautiful and vibrantly colored crystal is from a recent find in the area of São José do Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The crystals from this relatively small find include unique combinations of Quartz, Lepidolite, Cleavelandite and Feldspar, with vividly colored Tourmalines in lovely hues of green, pink, purple and blue. Crystals with combinations of these minerals are sometimes referred to as "Unicorn Stones."
ABOUT THIS CRYSTAL
One of the finest pieces we've ever offered from this most beloved locale of Sāo José do Safira, this is a magnificent Unicorn Stone Quartz with a colorful array of Purple Lepidolite and Multicolor Pink and Blue Tourmalines!
This crystal is quite large in size weighing around 2 Pounds (895g) with clear Quartz being the primary matrix for the piece. It is a substantial width and has a naturally flat base that allows it to sit perfectly for display (see Photos 3-4).
Aesthetically, it is immediately striking due to its vibrant colors. The top portion is frosted with a beautiful purple Lepidolite and, we believe, there is Pink Feldspar interspersed within this "frost" as well. On the front of the body near the base we see a scattering of what we believe to be Golden Anatase (it's possible that this is Golden Mica, but the way it has formed in "barnacles" appears more like Anatase).
However, without question the most special aspect of this piece is the several brightly colored Pink and Teal Blue Tourmaline crystals embedded throughout! There are many of these Tourmalines embedded in this crystal, but the most special are the two fully formed pieces that are most prominent, pictured in Photo 1. These are very lustrous and gemmy, and are essentially Watermelon Tourmalines, with deeply pink centers, but instead of a green "skin," they feature a lovely Teal Blue exterior, a color that is characteristic of this locale. We see several more of these on the backside, however they are not as fully formed, exposing the pink exteriors more prominently (but still very beautiful!).
We rarely see Bicolor Tourmalines of this color combination in these pieces, and especially ones that are so large and vibrantly colored. It's truly a one-of-a-kind piece. The best of the best from this locale.

________________________________
LEPIDOLITE
Lepidolite has a strong relaxing, balancing and calming effect. Because of this it is widely known and used for many emotional issues, especially relief of stress and anxiety.
Lepidolite also engenders and enhances self-love, patience, and optimism. It is a great support when experiencing feelings of despondency and depression, and it can help overcome insomnia. This stone is excellent to have around you during dark times as it brings a sense of hope and faith. It is often referred to a ‘nervous system regulator’.
INDICOLITE (BLUE TOURMALINE)
Blue Tourmaline is an exceptional tool for spiritual or healing practitioners for its ability to receive and transmute the high vibrations of the spirit realm. It channels the healing energies freely offered us by higher dimensions, and facilitates contact with these beings and the reception of their blessings.
It is one of the preeminent stones to aid the expansion of psychic skills such as channeling and mediumship. It is known as stone to aid you to communicate with those on the other side of the veil.It is best for use with the Third Eye Chakra to expand vision and awareness and the Throat Chakra for open communication.
RUBELLITE (PINK TOURMALINE)
Pink Tourmaline is a wonderful Heart Chakra crystal, healing wounds of the heart and in doing so cleansing the entire energy body of destructive feelings and old wounds accumulated over time. It is a wonderful companion for doing work to releases guilt and anxiety, helping us connect to our emotions and achieve self-love. It can help those who may be emotionally numb to begin feeling passion and enthusiasm again, and stimulates happiness, peace, and joy.
ANATASE
Anatase is a titanium dioxide based mineral that is similar in composition to rutile. Generally, Anatase presents in shades of yellow or blue, so this golden variation is quite unique.
Metaphysically, Anatase is a powerful crystal to aid in all areas of self-improvement and communication. Carrying a profound energy of self-expression and expansiveness, Anatase aids us in expressing ourselves clearly, especially in situations where we may have fears surrounding using our voice.
Anatase is also said to have a wonderful ability to inspire positive and optimistic energies, creating a sense of calm and contentedness within ourselves, which in turn aids in attracting positive people into our lives, be it professionally, romantically, or socially.
Finally, Anatase aids us in being kinder, more humane and more compassionate, which further supports healthy and clear communication and nurturing healthy relationships in our lives.
GOLDEN MICA
Golden Mica is considered to connect the Solar Plexus, Third Eye and Crown Chakras, enabling us to have mental clarity and focus and helping us to make positive life decisions. Its stimulation of the Third Eye and Crown Chakras aid us in telepathy and clairvoyance.
Mica provides us with reflective qualities so that we can recognize the flaws of our humanity while staying heart-centered so that we can love what we see here. It helps us to see situations in complete detail, highlighting areas of the greatest importance.
Mica is a wonderful energy to use when looking at yourself as it allows us to see that what you see in others and label, is what you choose to see, this allows us to see ourselves in others and eliminate patterns we do not like and embrace the ones we do. The clearer our vision becomes the more unified we are as the veil of separation disintegrates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure the kuripe I ordered will fit?
We have sold many kuripes and tepis over the years and very rarely have had one returned because of fit. Our designs are nearly universal and designed to fit just about everyone.
That said, we always suggest that once you receive your kuripe to "try it on" without hapé first to ensure a good fit. If you find it is not a good fit, please contact us and we'll work out a return or exchange (*please be sure you do this before you actually use it with hapé, because once it has been used, we are not able to accept returns for hygienic reasons).
If you have special sizing requests or you're not sure what you need, just ask and we'll be happy to help you!
I saw your Kuripe listings on another marketplace (Ali Baba, etc) with the same photos from your shop listings. The prices were really cheap! Do you sell there as well?
No! Our only online presence is our Etsy shop and on Instagram and Facebook.
If you're seeing our EXACT listing photos and copy for goods (specifically Kuripes or Tepis) on Ali Baba (or elsewhere), for impossibly low prices, please know THIS IS NOT US and it is a scam.
We work hard to protect our Intellectual Property (photos/copy) but it can be nearly impossible in this day and age with sites like Ali Baba, whose platform makes it difficult to file IP complaints, and which is overrun by scammers.
If you're ever in doubt, please reach out to us here!
One caveat is that we do offer our HanaqPacha sprays to some great independent resellers, so please continue to support them!
Can I return or exchange my item?
We do our best to accommodate all customer requests. We accept returns and exchanges for items that are not as described, do not fit, or are damaged.
We unfortunately cannot accept returns or exchanges for items that the buyer "does not connect with energetically" or "changes their mind" about after the fact. This is unfortunately a risk one takes purchasing metaphysical items online.
We also cannot accept returns or exchanges on products like used kuripes for hygienic reasons, or sprays that have been used/tested.
However if you received a product that does not fit, does not work, is not as described, or is otherwise problematic -- excluding the exemptions we've indicated here -- contact us & we will do our best to rectify it for you.
Are your indigenous items "Fair Trade"?
Yes!!! 100%!
One of the main reasons we began HanaqPacha was to support the communities that have helped us so much with their healing, their culture, their medicines, their hospitality. Now, we work with many artisans in Peru and Brazil (and Indonesia, and beyond)... and do our best to support them, their families and their local economies by purchasing their wares at the most fair prices possible.
Your business helps us expand our global "family" even more, commissioning more unique works by our friends both at home and abroad.
I provided an incorrect address for my order, what do I do?
If you provide an incorrect shipping address & catch it right after ordering, simply message us to let us know. If it’s caught right away there is usually no problem in updating the shipping address before we ship.
However, please understand that you, the buyer, are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address for your order. If you do not provide an accurate shipping address, we cannot be responsible for rerouting a parcel once it has left our hands.
If an item is returned due to an incorrect shipping address that you provided, we can reship, but will need to charge for the reshipping fees. This can get expensive and time-consuming. So please take a few seconds before submitting your order to ensure that all info is correct.
Any pro tips for a smooth transaction?
Yes! We ask only two things of our customers: 1.) Please read the entire item description before ordering and 2.) Please respect our shop and policies.
Most customer issues arise because someone did not read the item description or store policies. We spend a lot of time including DETAILED descriptions of each item, as well as at least 8 photos of each item. We do this to ensure our customers' satisfaction. However the one catch is that you need to read the information we provide so you can make an informed decision, to ensure that you will receive the exact thing you are in search of.
Not doing so risks lengthy and expensive return processes which are frustrating for all. So please read the descriptions and policies prior to ordering ;)
I live in the Los Angeles area, do you offer local pickup?
No, unfortunately we are not able to offer local pickup at this time. However we do ship just about daily and orders to the LA area typically will arrive in 1-2 days once shipped (Priority Shipping is generally 1 day in most cases).
Any tips for international buyers?
Yes! One tip really: we ask that you track your item periodically via Etsy once we ship.
Many times, international items experience long delays in customs (which is normal), and sometimes parcels are "held for collection" at the local post office of the buyer and need to be picked up, or else they will be returned to seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to stay abreast of this, so they can be sure to attend to any collection or signature required by your local post office.
If an item is returned due to non-collection, you will need to file a claim with Etsy and/or wait until the item is returned to us (which may be months) for reshipment, and then pay for reshipment.
Much easier to track and stay updated!
I received my order and there's a problem, what should I do?
Please contact us right away and we will do whatever we can to resolve the issue.
While we know the initial reaction may be to leave a negative review, please reach out to us first and give us the opportunity to help you. We're not perfect, but we do take accountability when we are at fault or when we have made an error.
We want all our customers to have a positive shopping experience with us. We have a long history of excellent customer service and can help find a solution to almost anything.
Negative reviews should really be a last resort and are rarely warranted. We prefer to find solutions so that everyone is happy.
When I track my order it says it was delivered, but I haven't received it, what do I do?!
If an item is marked as "delivered" but not received, the next step is to speak with your local post office. It could mean it was misdelivered to an incorrect address or it may be waiting at the post office for you. If you provide the tracking number to a manager at the post office they can explore.
If you do not have success with this, you can open up a case with Etsy for an item not received. Often times Etsy may directly compensate the buyer in these circumstances: help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/5745586898199-How-to-Open-a-Case-?segmen...
We're unfortunately not able to file claims for items marked as "delivered," but we do everything we can to ensure that you will either be refunded or receive your item. So please keep us updated.
