Very beautiful 50mm unakite elephant.
Colors and patterns may vary from stone to stone.
Unakite belongs to the altered granite family. It is composed of aluminum, iron and calcium silicate. Its inclusions of green epidote, orthoclase (pink to orange feldspar) and colorless quartz give it a very surprising range of colors. Indeed, its basic color evolves from yellow-green to dark green, then it displays spots that vary from pink to reddish. Its monoclinic crystal system gives it crystals with an irregular appearance generating all sorts of shapes.
In 1975, geologist Mr. BRADLEY discovered this fabulous stone in the mountains called Unaka Range, located in North Carolina in the United States. He then named it unakite. Extracted from hydrothermal, metasomatic and metamorphic rocks, unakite is a relatively recent stone.
Thus, there are no legends or myths related to this stone. It is therefore a completely new stone in the eyes of geologists. Sometimes, unakite is confused with epidote. In fact, they are distinguished by the absence of quartz in epidote, which displays very few pink spots due to feldspar.
Unakite has a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale. For comparison, diamond has the highest hardness, 10 on the same scale. It is therefore highly prized by jewelers who can work it and create all kinds of jewelry. It is also widely used in the manufacture of statuettes representing deities, such as Buddha. Its varied and original colors allow for unique creations.
Its main deposits are located in Brazil, South Africa, etc.
Unakite is a stone of resilience. It allows you to rebuild yourself after a bereavement, a romantic failure, an unfair dismissal. It helps to fight against feelings of unexplained unease. It promotes introspection and reconnection with your inner self. It can thus remove certain blockages due to childhood traumas. It gives the strength to accept and overcome them in order to better move forward in life.
Thus, it is beneficial for people who lack confidence and self-esteem. It restores confidence for people who devalue themselves, often following a personal or professional failure. It encourages them to start again, to try again and not to accept defeat too easily. It helps to overcome frustrations following failures.
This stone promotes the evacuation of negative energies, such as anger, resentment and jealousy. The person becomes more conciliatory and forgives more easily. He opens up to others without suspicion and likes to share with them. He shows a lot of empathy, compassion and understanding. In addition, people suffering from an excessive temperament learn to temper their ardor and manage their anger.
