Unakite

Unakite – This unique form of granite gets its salmon pinks from Feldspar and olive greens from green epidote and often includes hints of sparkle from quartz crystals. It gets its unusual name from the place it was first discovered, the  Unakas Mountains, part of the Appalachian chain. This stone was traditionally given to young girls as a symbol of balance. The combination of pink, a colour usually associated with youth, and feminity combined with green, in North American cultures, associated with wealth, is a reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice happiness for success.
