Stone 101
Pink and green swirled together, like a strawberry and pistachio scoop.
Salmon pink and olive green, speckled with grey quartz. Here you'll find heart pendants and charms, pendulums and a round wand.
The basics
Unakite isn't one mineral. It's a rock, a granite that changed over time underground. The pink is feldspar, the green is epidote and the grey bits are quartz.
Because it's a mix, no two pieces look the same. Some are mostly pink, some mostly green. Pick the balance you like best.
Rituals, not rules

Straight talk
Unakite is rarely faked, and the patchy pink-and-green mix is hard to copy. It's natural rock, and it's sometimes sold as 'unakite jasper', though it isn't a jasper. If a piece of ours were ever dyed or man-made, the title would say so.

Good questions
It's traditionally linked with balance and patience, and with the idea that things that belong together grow together. Most people just love the pink and green.

Yes, it's a natural rock and it's rarely imitated. The uneven mix of pink, green and grey is a good sign you've got the real thing.
A quick rinse is fine, then dry it right away. For a traditional cleanse, people also use smoke, sound or a night on selenite.
