Hiddenite is a relative of kunzite; they are both forms of spodumene; a lithium aluminum silicate mineral.

The name came from W. E. Hidden, who discovered this stone in North Carolina, in 1879.  Hiddenite is a yellow-green spodumene while kunzite is a pink variety.  The name spodumene is from the Greek spodoumens, “burnt ash”.

Major sources of hiddenite are Brazil, Madagascar, Burma and the U.S.

Lore

“. . . this mineral helps to stimulate the intellect and the loving side of ones nature in order to bring forth the unknown.  It prompts the connection with the other worlds and provides for subsequent clarity in the transfer of knowledge.” ¹

“In addition to carrying the generic properties of Kunzite (pg 30).  Hiddenite supports new beginnings and grounds spiritual love.  Assisting the transfer of knowledge from the higher realms and beneficial for intellectual and emotional experiences.” ²

“Hiddenite teaches how to return spontaneity and genuiness to love relationships.” ³ and “. . . teaches devotion without self-denial . . . improves memory, helps with difficulties in decision making . . .” ⁴

“If you possess even a small piece of Hiddenite, it can help you get in touch with your own creative potential.  It will also demand that you find ways to share it and use it for the benefit of the whole.  In this sense it could be said to bring wealth, but only if you are guided in its use by your heart.  While we would not consider its energy as male or yang, it does bring out the dynamic aspects of love required to manifest the creative flow.” ⁵
