Small African Morocco Stones – Unakit
Unakit (also known as epidote granite) is a stone with a truly distinctive appearance: the natural mosaic created by intergrown green epidote and pink feldspar is instantly recognisable. These small, hand-polished African tumbled stones are imported directly from their original source so you receive an authentic, untreated piece. Unakit’s neutral yet striking look makes it popular among collectors and decoration enthusiasts alike.
Technical Data
- Material: Unakit (epidote + orthoclase feldspar + quartz)
- Size: approx. 2–3 cm (small / S size)
- Weight: approx. 100 g (per pack)
- Origin: Africa
- Surface: polished, smooth
Characteristics
The green and pink mottled pattern of Unakit appears in different proportions on every piece, so no two stones are alike. Polishing highlights the contrast between the two colours and gives the surface a silky feel. It is a medium-hardness stone that does not chip easily – suitable as a pocket stone, decoration or collector’s item.
How to Use
Place Unakit tumbled stones in a white or natural-tone dish to let the green-pink pattern truly stand out. It also looks beautiful on terracotta or wooden surfaces. As a gift for friends or natural-stone enthusiasts, it makes a special and personal surprise – especially when accompanied by a brief note on the stone’s origin.
Why Choose This?
Unakit is less commonly seen among well-known stones, so choosing it gives you something genuinely unique. Természetkosár’s direct African import assurances authenticity, and the value for money is outstanding. If you want to stand out from the usual stone selection, Unakit is the perfect choice.
Tips
- Unakit looks great arranged alongside other green-toned stones (e.g. aventurine, jade).
- Occasionally wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry-store.
- For photography, arranging it on a tray in natural light brings out the best effect.
- As a gift, it becomes memorable when accompanied by a small informational card.
