Unakite is a metamorphic rock consisting primarily of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. Its distinctive mottled green and pink hues result from the intimate intergrowth of these minerals. Valued for its striking coloration and patterning, unakite is commonly utilized in jewelry and ornamental applications.

Unakite originates from the metamorphic transformation of granite, where plagioclase feldspar alters into orthoclase feldspar and epidote. This mineralogical change takes place deep within the Earth's crust under elevated pressure and temperature. The interplay of these minerals imparts unakite with its characteristic coloration.
