Unakite - An Unusual Gemstone


Unakite was first discovered in the Unakas mountains of North Carolina. It is an altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and colorless quartz. It is usually found in various shades of green and pink and is usually mottled in appearance. In this beautiful copper pendant, the setting is quite stunning and is made from pure rose copper. The focal stone is unakite, and has shades of green and pink in it. This is a beautiful piece of fashion jewelry that is quite affordable.
