Unakite is a metamorphic rock that is altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and quartz.

Unakite can be found as pebbles and cobbles from glacial drift all across the US Midwest. It also occurs in Virginia where it is found in the river valleys after being washed down from the Blue Ridge Mountains. First found in the United States, Unakite has a worldwide distribution, having also been reported in South Africa, Sierra Leone, Brazil, China, India, and Australia.
