Description from the seller

Unakiet is an intriguing mineral composed of a combination of pink feldspar, green epidote, and quartz. It has a unique and attractive appearance, often with a marbled structure that ranges from light green to deep pink, making it particularly popular among collectors and jewelers.

Regarding the origin, unakite is primarily found in the United States, with a significant discovery site in the state of Virginia. Additionally, specimens can also be found in other parts of the world, such as South Africa and Australia. The stones are often mined from granite-like rock formations and are popular for both jewelry and decorative purposes.

Unakite is versatile and can be cut into various shapes, such as cabochons, beads, and ornaments, making it an attractive choice for jewelry designers. When selecting unakite, it is important to pay attention to color contrasts and the quality of the cut, as these elements influence the aesthetic value of the final product. The unique combination of colors and its natural origin make unakite a valuable addition to any mineral collection or jewelry line.

Will be sent via max insured and registered mail.
