Unakite is an altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and grey quartz. The contrast between pink and green mineral zones is its defining characteristic. These are AA grade tumbled stones from South Africa, sized 1-1.50 inch.

Where does this Unakite come from?

These stones are sourced from South Africa, a significant commercial source for well-colored Unakite. Each batch is personally selected for strong color contrast and tumble quality.

What does AA Grade mean for Unakite?

AA Grade indicates high-contrast pink and green coloring, clean surface polish, and good tumble form. Since Unakite is opaque, AA grading prioritizes vivid color over clarity.

Is this Unakite treated?

Our Unakite is personally selected and we disclose treatment status per batch. If you have questions about your specific lot, reach out to us directly.

What is Unakite traditionally used for?

Unakite is traditionally associated with the heart chakra, emotional steadiness, and patient growth. Used in grounding and heart-centered intentions and for supporting recovery and renewal.

How do I care for Unakite?

Unakite is Mohs 6-7 and reasonably durable. Clean with a soft damp cloth or cool water rinse. Avoid prolonged soaking and abrasive cleaners. Store away from harder stones that could scratch the surface.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

How do I know this crystal is ethically sourced?

Beyond Bohemian traces each stone as far up the supply chain as possible and is transparent when that tracing has limits. We work with small-scale operations and family-run suppliers wherever we can verify fair compensation. You can ask about any specific piece and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

What is the return policy?

Beyond Bohemian accepts returns within 90 days of purchase. Items must be in original condition. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Contact us before returning so we can confirm eligibility and provide instructions.

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.

We bring these tumbled stones in from Northern Cape, South Africa.

Unakite has long been used in practices around 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, set one on a shelf where your eye lands on it during the day. There's no single right way to carry it.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
