This granite gemstone could almost be called unique-ite! The rock is an interesting mix of red/pink feldspar, white/gray quartz and epidote (a pistachio-colored gemstone, calcium aluminum iron silicate hydroxide). Its coloring and compact, hard structure make it a nice stone for jewelry. It was named for the Unaka Mountains in the Southeastern U.S.A., where it was first discovered. Unakite is relatively new to the market but is growing in popularity. Ultrasonic cleaners, steaming and soapy water are all generally safe methods for cleaning this durable stone. However, rough handling should be avoided.
Unakite is considered a balancing stone. It is said to help unify the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of self, making it an excellent stone for those seeking a well-rounded existence. Unakite also is believed to help us to live in the present instead of dwelling on the past. It is said to help us release the mental or emotional blocks that can often stop us from moving forward. Unakite is purported to stimulate the health of the heart and circulatory systems, and ensure a healthy reproductive system. This gemstone is found mainly in the U.S.A., but also in South Africa, Brazil and China.
