Unakite is a vibrant stone known for its unique combination of green Epidote, pink Orthoclase Feldspar, and Quartz. Its intriguing colours originate from the union of these minerals, resulting in a visually striking stone that embodies balance and harmony. The name Unakite comes from the Unaka Mountains of North Carolina, USA, where it was first discovered. This metamorphic rock has long been admired for its beautiful mix of colours and its spiritual significance. Historically, Unakite has been used to promote emotional balance and well-being, aiding in the release of past traumas and fostering personal growth.

The Spiritual Vibes

On a spiritual level, Unakite is associated with the Heart and Third Eye Chakras. It encourages emotional healing and helps align one’s vision with heart-centred goals. By opening the Heart Chakra, Unakite promotes love and compassion for oneself and others, while activating the Third Eye Chakra enhances intuitive insight and clarity of vision. Its affirmation, “I embrace balance and release the past, welcoming healing and growth,” reflects its powerful influence on personal transformation.

Unakite's Favourite Pairing Crystals

For those seeking to harness its full potential, Unakite pairs beautifully with Moss Agate, Malacholla, and Grape Agate. Moss Agate enhances Unakite’s grounding and stabilising properties, supporting emotional balance and growth. Malacholla, a blend of Malachite and Chrysocolla, amplifies emotional healing and spiritual communication, deepening your connection to inner wisdom. Grape Agate complements Unakite nurturing energy by fostering creativity and intuition, creating a harmonious blend that encourages growth and self-discovery. Use these crystals together in meditation or carry them as a reminder of your journey toward balance and healing.
