Unakite is a mottled green and pink metamorphic rock, made up mainly of green epidote, pink feldspar, and quartz. It forms when granite is altered by heat and pressure over long periods of time, first identified in the Unaka Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, which is where its name comes from.
Unakite is good for:
Supporting emotional healing
Encouraging steady, gradual growth
Balancing the heart
Releasing old patterns
Bringing a sense of grounded compassion
Pairs well with: Rose Quartz and Green Aventurine, for a heart centred, grounding combination.
Every crystal is one of a kind. As a natural formation, your unakite may include unique inclusions, colour variations, or markings. These aren't flaws. They're what make each piece truly one of a kind.
