Unakite First discovered in the Unakas mountains of North Carolina, unakite is altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and generally colorless quartz. It exists in various shades of green and pink and is usually mottled in appearance. Metaphysically, with both colors attributed to the heart chakra, unakite is used to facilitate giving and receiving love. Fine specimens of unakite are found in South Africa, Sierra Leone, Brazil, China, and Virginia.

Aventurine
Commonly mistaken for jade, aventurine is actually a member of the quartz family. It gets its glittery appearance from inclusions of fuchsite (green mica). Aventurine adopted its name from a similar looking Italian glass (a ventura) in the early 1700’s. With a Mohs hardness of 7, the beautiful green stone is well suited for carving and jewelry making. Metaphysically, aventurine is believed to bring love, joy, and prosperity. Aventurine is most commonly found in Brazil, India, Austria, and Russia.
