Unakite is a striking, mottled green and pink stone, composed primarily of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. It exhibits a granular structure and is often used polished in jewelry or as ornamental stone due to its vibrant, natural colors and balancing energy. Unakite is believed to promote emotional harmony and spiritual growth. It was first discovered in the United States in the Unakas mountains of North Carolina, which is how it got its name, and it continues to be predominantly sourced from this region.
