Unakite Crystals

Unakite is a type of granite that is composed of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz. Unakite is a metamorphic rock that forms when granite is altered by hydrothermal activity. It can be used for lapidary work, as it is able to be polished to a very high gloss. Unakite was discovered in 1874 by a man named Mr. Bradly. He named it after the Unaka mountain range, which is located in North Carolina in the United States.

Unakite is a popular gemstone because of its unique coloration. It is used in jewelry, carvings, and as a decorative stone. It is also used in construction, particularly in the trimming of floor tiles and stair treads.

Unakite crystals are found in a number of locations around the world, including Australia, Brazil, China, India, Madagascar, Russia, and the United States.

In metaphysical belief, Unakite is associated with the heart chakra in order to aid in balancing emotions as well as the third eye chakra for vision. Unakite is also said to provide feelings of both empathy and compassion. It is mainly utilized for alignment, healing, and perseverance.
