Unakite (Ca,Na,K,Al,Fe,Si,O,H) is a pretty green and pink mineral, especially when tumbled! The green is epidote, the pink is K-feldspar and there's a little quartz mixed in with it almost unnoticeably. Its name comes from the Unaka mountain range of North Carolina, where it was first found and described. It's a semi-precious stone, and you can find this at [ Ссылка ]
According to [ Ссылка ] "Unakite can be found as pebbles and cobbles from glacial drift in the beach rock on the shores of Lake Superior. It also occurs in Virginia where it is found in the river valleys after having been washed down from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Unakite is not limited to the United States, and has also been reported in South Africa, Sierra Leone, Brazil, China and Australia. Some material labeled unakite lacks the feldspar and is more properly called epidosite, and is also used as beads and cabochons."
