Unakite is a distinctive green-and-pink metamorphic rock composed mainly of epidote, pink orthoclase feldspar, and quartz. It forms when granite or similar rock undergoes hydrothermal alteration, causing the original minerals to change and recrystallize. Unakite is found in several parts of the world, including the United States, Brazil, South Africa, China, and Sierra Leone, and it is often polished for use in jewelry and decorative objects.

In metaphysical traditions, unakite is believed to promote emotional healing, balance, and personal growth. Some practitioners associate its green and pink colors with the heart chakra and use it as a stone for compassion, patience, and releasing past emotional experiences. These properties are spiritual beliefs rather than scientifically established effects.
