Unakite Beads Product Knowledge
Product: Unakite Beads (Unakite 8mm)
============================================================
1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Unakite is a granite-like rock composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote and quartz. The interweaving of these three minerals gives it its distinctive pink-and-green coloring.
Its name comes from the Unaka Mountains (part of the Blue Ridge / Great Smoky Mountains) on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, USA, where it was first identified and named.
Main deposits: South Africa, the United States (North Carolina, Tennessee), Brazil, Zimbabwe and China. It often occurs as river pebbles (tumbled beads) and is dense enough to take a fine polish.
With a Mohs hardness of about 6-7, it is commonly made into beads, tumbled beads, carvings and beads.
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Unakite was first scientifically described in 1874 and named after the Unaka Mountains in the United States.
In North America it has long been regarded as a grounding and healing bead, used in meditation and energy-healing practice.
In crystal culture it is known as the 'Bead of New Beginnings and Balance,' symbolizing rebirth, balance and emotional healing.
3. USAGE
------------------------------------------------------------
Jewelry: made into bracelets, pendants and beads, with a fresh, natural pink-and-green look.
Ornaments and collecting: often polished into beads, eggs and tumbled beads for home display and palm holding.
Meditation and healing: used in heart-chakra meditation and emotional healing, helping to release the past and face change.
Gardening and decor (Western folk practice): because it symbolizes growth, it is often used in garden ornaments and plant displays.
4. FUNCTIONS

Balance and grounding: harmonizes emotions and spirituality, helping one stay grounded and stable.
Emotional healing: supports emotional balance and personal growth, helping to move beyond emotional difficulty, including old wounds.
