Unakite, also known as epidote, is a combination of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and (generally) colorless quartz. Unakite gets it’s name from the Unakas mountains of North Carolina where it was first discovered. It is believed to lift your spirits if you are feeling low.

Flipside Fiesta Raffle Winner!

As I mentioned in my previous post on Flipside Circus,  I was happy to donate a custom made handcrafted sterling silver and drusy agate ring for the recent Flipside Fiesta fundraising raffle.

John was the lucky winner, and he unveiled the prize for his wife Robby at Christmas time. I recently visited them both in their lovely home, and Robby chose her favourite gemstone from my collection – it wasn’t drusy after all, but I didn’t mind a bit!

This gorgeous stone is Unakite – I’ll do an in-depth post about that later.  For now, it’s a natural stone, and isn’t it pretty!!!
