Description
Unakite is a metamorphic rock that forms when granite (an igneous rock) is altered by hydrothermal metamorphism. During metamorphism, plagioclase in the granite is replaced by epidote to produce a rock composed primarily of green epidote, pink orthoclase, and clear to milky quartz.
Unakite is said to be a stone of vision, opening the third eye and useful for scrying. It is also believed to be a stone of balance, grounding the self while bringing emotions and spirituality together. Among crystal healing practitioners, unakite is used to support convalescence from illness.
A most unusual crystal. The combination of the three minerals makes for really interesting patterns on the surface. Surprisingly the overall appearance of unakite is fairly consistent and the polish is usually very good.
Green epidote cultivates a zest for growth and the ability to see what is going on below the surface of our everyday life. Pink feldspar brings a new way of approaching things. It also promotes self-love, which in turn makes us more able to love others. The energy of quartz promotes clarity and clear mindedness.
As a whole, unakite reminds us of the need to unblock energy centres in the body, which build-up from time to time, as blockages can halt progress in our physical life.
