Unakite is a distinctive metamorphic rock composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. It is typically characterized by its mottled green and pink patterns, giving it a unique and visually appealing appearance. Due to its attractive colors and natural texture, Unakite is widely used in jewelry, beads, cabochons, carvings, and decorative stones. Its striking coloration and durability also make it popular among collectors and crystal enthusiasts.
Unakite forms through the metamorphism of granite, during which plagioclase feldspar in the original rock is altered into orthoclase feldspar and epidote. This process occurs deep within the Earth’s crust under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The intergrowth of these minerals gives Unakite its characteristic pink-and-green coloration, creating its distinctive and attractive appearance used in jewelry and decorative stones.
