Went online to learn...

Use. A good quality unakite is considered a semiprecious stone; it will take a good polish and is often used in jewelry as beads or cabochons and other lapidary work such as eggs, spheres and animal carvings. It is also referred to as epidotized or epidote granite

Please come to Shoshoni Wyoming sometime, ask for Dee, at our only convenience store . I can show you where much of the same and even bigger and better can be found here... God bless, good luck and best wishes ... Dee

Medium to high heat and medium to high pressure. Higher the better. The color green comes from mafic inclusions and again higher heat and pressure in metamorphic events.

Glad to hear that you might get to Shoshoni . I don't work at the store but most of the people there know me . Don't miss the rock show all Casper Wyoming this month if you get the chance to see it . Best wishes again and, yes, the wind river canyon is amazing...
