Unakite

Overview

Unakite is the medicine of gentle becoming. It holds the wounded heart in one hand and the rising version of you in the other. Its energy is what love would feel like if it were a stone, not rushed, not forceful, not demanding, just warm, patient, and steady.

This stone doesn’t only heal heartbreak, it reconnects you to your softness without shame. It teaches you that strength can sound like a whisper too.

What is Unakite?

Unakite is a Granite composite of Green Epidote, Pink Orthoclase Feldspar, and Quartz. The pink carries the soft emotional body, the green stabilises and restores, and the quartz acts as the amplifier, making it a trinity of emotional clearing, grounding, and rebirth.

It is deeply tied to the feminine energy system, especially the heart womb connection, making it a powerful stone for anyone healing from emotional loss, motherhood wounds, ancestral patterns, or suppressed grief.

Spiritual Meaning

Unakite is the bridge between pain and peace. Spiritually, it whispers that growth doesn’t need violence, that expansion doesn’t always require breaking, and that sometimes healing is simply staying long enough to soften.

It is a stone for the soul that keeps reincarnating into lessons of love, nurturing, abandonment, devotion, and emotional surrender.
