Unakite is an exquisite metamorphic rock featuring a harmonious blend of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. Its distinctive intermingling of green and pink hues, arranged in mottled patterns, lends it an elegant and singular aesthetic. Esteemed for its refined coloration and intricate design, Unakite is frequently crafted into fine jewelry and cherished as an ornamental stone.
Unakite is formed through the metamorphism of granite, during which plagioclase feldspar in the original rock is altered to form orthoclase feldspar and epidote. This transformation typically occurs deep within the Earth’s crust under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The intergrowth of these minerals results in unakite’s distinctive green and pink coloration.
