Rock/Mineral Info:

Unakite is a type of metamorphic rock composed of green epidote, pink orthoclase, and quartz. It is famous for its mottled green-and-pink appearance. The name "unakite" comes from the Unaka Mountains in the Southeastern US, which is where the rock was originally discovered.

Unakite forms when granite undergoes the metamorphic process, which involves high pressure and heat transforming original rocks into new rocks. Following the metamorphic process, the unakite-bearing rocks experience cooling and uplift, rising closer to the Earth's surface. Eventually, the unakite is exposed through erosion and weathering processes.

Metaphysical Properties:

Unakite is associated with patience, wisdom, visualization, and psychic work. It is connected primarily with the heart and third eye chakras.
