Unakite is a natural, metamorphic rock composed primarily of green epidote, pink orthoclase feldspar, and colorless to milky quartz. Its distinctive mottled appearance and earthy color palette make it a popular choice for jewelry designers seeking organic, textured looks. Unakite is valued for its durability and unique coloration, which can vary in intensity. Dakota Stones offers unakite beads that are carefully selected for consistent quality and visual appeal, making them suitable for a range of jewelry applications.
