Unakite also is known as epidote granite, is an opaque, granite-like rock characterized by a mottled appearance composed of green epidote, white to gray quartz, and pink feldspar. It was originally collected from Unaka Ridge in North Carolina, USA. The minerals of different colors in unakite are distributed in spots. It is often used to grind plain-shaped small ornaments and necklace beads and is also used for carving. In addition to the United States, it is also found in Galway Bay in Ireland, Zimbabwe, Keimos in the North Cape of South Africa, and Tanzania. Observed by naked eyes and magnification, the unakite has a giant-fine-grained porphyritic structure with a fragmented structure, which is mainly composed of three different colored minerals. Combined with conventional gemological tests, the refractive indices of the three minerals are consistent with feldspar, quartz, and epidote. Using infrared spectroscopy to test, the reflectance spectra of three different color minerals were obtained, and the comparisons with potassium feldspar, quartz, and epidote were consistent. X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the sample confirmed the mineral composition of the sample. In summary, this kind of jade is unakite.
