L’unakite is a precious stone from the garnet family. Of an irregular aspect, it is an opaque stone, green in color with sprinkles of salmon pink. It can also have shades of orange, beige or other nuances of green and pink. It is mainly made of quartz, feldspath and green epidote. Its name is derived from a deposit in California (Unaka Range). It is often found in decorative objects, cut in cabochon or as beads.
