Unakite is a form of granite that is made up of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz. It is usually found as a mottled pink and green stone, and can vary in shade from stone to stone. It is important to note that each piece of true unakite must have the pink granite inclusion, otherwise it is considered simply epidosite. Unakite is considered a semiprecious stone, especially when there is a large amount of quartz, and is frequently polished and cut into cabochons, beads, spheres, and even animal carvings.  

Unakite is named after the Unaka mountain range in Tennessee where it was discovered in 1874 by Mr. Bradley. It is now mined all over the world- including South Africa, Brazil, and China, though is still prevalently found in America. You can find unakite as stones and pebbles along the shores of Lake Superior in Minnesota.
