A beautiful “Tree of Life” crafted from almost pure fine silver (99.9%) hangs below and compliments the legendary qualities of the beautiful Unakite gemstones.

 

Unakite Facts, Information and Description

When looking upon a highly polished Unakite gemstone, it is easy to imagine a field of green growing plants with lovely warm peach colored flowers for it often looks like a slice of this scene was cut out and immediately frozen into the stone that we call Unakite.

Some people call Unakite, Epidote but this is not completely accurate because Unakite is a combination of gemstones, one of which is Epidote, the others are Feldspar and Granite. It is interesting to note that the name Epidote is derived from the Greek word epidosis which means "growing together". Because the stones grow together as if they were one single stone.

The stone got the name Unakite from the place it was originally discovered in the Unaka Mountain in Tennessee and North Carolina. Outside of the United States, Unakite can also be found in Zimbabwe and Switzerland.
