50mm unakite skull. Patterns and colors may vary from one stone to another.
Unakite belongs to the family of altered granites. It is composed of aluminum, iron, and calcium silicate. Its inclusions of green epidote, orthoclase (pink to orange feldspar), and colorless quartz give it a very astonishing range of colors. Indeed, its base hue evolves from yellow-green to dark green, then it displays spots that vary from pink to reddish. Its monoclinic crystal system provides it with irregularly shaped crystals, giving rise to all sorts of forms.
In 1975, geologist M. BRADLEY discovered this fabulous stone in the mountains called Unaka Range, located in North Carolina, USA. He then named it unakite. Extracted from hydrothermal, metasomatic, and metamorphic rocks, unakite is a relatively recent stone.
Thus, there are no legends or myths associated with this stone. It is therefore a brand new stone in the eyes of geologists. Sometimes, unakite is confused with epidote. In fact, they are distinguished by the absence of quartz in epidote, which displays very few pink spots due to feldspar.
Unakite has a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale. For comparison, diamond has the highest hardness, 10 on the same scale. It is therefore highly prized by jewelers who can work it and create all kinds of jewelry. It is also widely used in the manufacture of statuettes representing deities, such as Buddha. Its varied and original colors allow for unique creations.
Its main deposits are located in Brazil, South Africa, etc.
Unakite is a stone of resilience. It allows one to rebuild after a bereavement, a romantic failure, an unfair dismissal. It helps to fight against unexplained feelings of unease. It promotes introspection and reconnection with one's inner self. It can thus lift certain blockages due to childhood traumas. It gives the strength to accept and overcome them in order to move forward better in life.
Thus, it is beneficial for people who lack confidence and self-esteem. It restores assurance for people who devalue themselves, often following a personal or professional failure. It encourages them to start over, try again, and not accept defeat too easily. It helps to overcome frustrations resulting from failures.
This stone promotes the evacuation of negative energies, such as anger, resentment, and jealousy. The person becomes more conciliatory and forgives more easily. They open up to others without suspicion and enjoy sharing with them. They show a lot of empathy, compassion, and understanding. Furthermore, people suffering from an overly excessive temperament learn to temper their ardor and manage their anger.
