History and folklore
Unakite is named after the Unaka Mountains along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, where it was first described. It is a mix of pink feldspar, green epidote and clear quartz, so it carries two colors that seem like they should clash but look beautiful together. In modern practice that blend makes it a stone of balance, especially between head and heart. It is common and inexpensive, a good stone for pockets and spell jars.
