History

Unakite is a typically pink and green stone that gets its name from the Unaka Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, where it was first discovered. It is typically used as a decoration in houses, museums, and other specialty buildings. Specifically, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., is one of the most famous buildings known to use unakite in the front steps and as floor tiles at the south entrance.
