Unakite is a type of metamorphic rock that is composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. It is typically found in shades of green and pink, with mottled patterns that give it a unique appearance. Unakite is often used in jewelry and as a decorative stone due to its attractive colors and patterns.
Unakite is formed through the metamorphism of granite, where plagioclase feldspar in the granite is altered to form orthoclase feldspar and epidote. This process usually occurs deep within the Earth’s crust under high-pressure and temperature conditions. The combination of these minerals gives unakite its distinctive coloration.
