Physical Information
Unakite is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of green epidote, pink orthoclase feldspar, and clear to milky quartz.
This unique combination creates its distinctive mottled pattern of soft greens and warm pinks.
Unakite forms through hydrothermal alteration, where existing rocks undergo chemical changes under heat and pressure.
It is typically found in massive form rather than individual crystals, making it ideal for carvings, tumblestones, jewelry, and decorative pieces.
Major sources include the United States (especially the Blue Ridge Mountains), South Africa, Brazil, and China.
Its earthy, nurturing colour palette gives Unakite a grounding and soothing natural appearance.
Metaphysical Properties
Unakite is associated with emotional healing, balance, and heart-centered energy.
The pink feldspar supports emotional release and compassion, while green epidote encourages growth, renewal, and letting go of old patterns.
Together, they harmonize the heart chakra, helping to stabilize emotions during transitions or stress.
Many use Unakite for grounding, enhancing patience, and fostering gentle, steady personal growth.
It is also considered a stone of emotional resilience and deep inner healing.
