Unakite rounds in 8mm bring the stone's naturally mottled blend of earthy green and salmon-pink tones to any stringing or knotting project. It's a genuine semi-precious gemstone bead with the kind of organic, grounded character that's hard to fake.
Each bead is a small landscape unto itself — the mottled greens and warm peachy-pink of natural unakite mean no two beads are identical, and the smooth round cut lets that natural patterning take center stage.
String them on beading wire or silk cord for a nature-inspired necklace or bracelet, or work them into a knotted gemstone strand where the 8mm size gives each bead room to show off its markings. They also pair well with copper or bronze metalwork components for a rustic, earthy aesthetic.

This unique granite gemstone is a beautiful mottled blend of pinks, greys and olive green, and looks great with jaspers, and malachite.
