Unakite is a granite mottled in pink feldspar and green epidote, shown here in rough unpolished texture. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite emotional healing stone for crystal grids.
Unakite is a mix of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz fused together in one rock. The pink and green together are the whole appeal. It's the stone version of a perfect piece of watermelon. Named after Unaka Mountains in North Carolina-Tennessee border.

In crystal traditions, unakite is often associated with working through difficult feelings at your own pace, gentle, patient care for yourself, and coming back to yourself with kindness. It's traditionally linked to the heart and root chakras. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
