Mineralogie & Entstehung

Unakite (also known as epidote) is a metamorphic rock made up of epidote (green), orthoclase feldspar (pink/salmon), and quartz (clear). It forms through the transformation of granite under hydrothermal conditions. Its characteristic green-pink mixture makes it unmistakable. Locations include the USA (Virginia, North Carolina), South Africa, Brazil, China, and Norway.

Pflege & Reinigung

Unakite has a Mohs hardness of 6–7 and is robust. Cleaning under running water, recharging on rock crystal or in the sun. It is easy to care for and suitable for everyday use.

Look-alikes & quality

Unakite is hardly confused due to its unique green-pink color combination. Occasionally, it is confused with epidote granite, which shows a different color distribution. Correctly named in commerce, no fakes are known.
