Unakite

Unakite is composed of green epidote and pink orthoclase feldspar together with quartz and is usually mottled in appearance. Its name comes from the Unakas mountains in North Carolina where it was first discovered.

Unakite is associated with all chakra points, especially the heart. It is very balancing and nurturing. It teaches patience and persistence and is a stone for true spiritual seekers who wish to hold steadfast to their chosen path.

It aids in our connection to the natural world at a spiritual level and to remind us that we are all connected.

Physically, Unakite is said to aid in promoting the growth of healthy tissue and can be useful in recovery from injury. It is also said to be particularly useful in support of the heart and lungs and treating diseases or cancers of these areas.

My experience of living with Unakite (21/6/19);

What a beautiful crystal! Every day this week, I felt a need to be out in nature. I have felt an overwhelming appreciation of all the wonderful flowers, birds, rocks and the ocean. I have been photographing so many beautiful scenes and felt the need to share my appreciation of mother earth with anyone who will listen. I have certainly felt a connection with the natural world.

Another thing I have noticed this week is my need for patience. Nothing can be forced, everything has to be allowed to flow. My personal mantra continues to be “Everything is always working out for me”.
