Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, unakite is prized for its distinctive mottled coloring, which many associate with bringing the heart and mind into steady balance. Unlike a single mineral, it is a granular rock, so no two pieces mottle exactly alike. As a heart shape, it leans into its balance & wellness association.
Unakite takes its name from the Unaka mountain range in the southeastern United States, where it was first identified, and its two-tone blend of colors makes each cut piece visually distinct from the next.
How to wear it
Add a chain or cord and wear it as a steady, grounding daily piece, or set it out where its two-tone pattern can catch the eye. See our full necklaces and pendants collection for more.
Care & cleansing
Unakite tolerates brief water contact well, though prolonged soaking and harsh chemicals should be avoided. Many people cleanse unakite with sound or a smoke cleanse, and rest it near selenite to recharge. Each pendant is natural stone, so its green-and-pink pattern is unique to your piece.
