Need help with ID of stone/polished rock

Can't anyone point me in a direction on this?

 

I believe it’s jasper-wait for others to confirm.

 

unakite

 

Hi,
Unakite is a type of Jasper so reader is correct.

@gregsglass

Unakite is altered granite which is not jasper in any way.

Confusing! I don't know if it is jasper or granite.

 

Unakite may indeed be known as "jasper" in a colloquial way - particularly among the healing crystal crowd - which site you linked to above. Holly is correct that it is not the mineral jasper - which is 100% quartz.

 

It is a form of granite that has been altered - so a metamorphic form of granite. It is not jasper. Some people call it jasper - but that does not make it jasper.

 

Thank you so much!!

 

And thanks from me too. The funniest part is that I saw the obviously same stone on beads identified here right after I posted and intended to correct but went into a film and just got out.

It best to stay away from new age/healing crystal websites when trying to find information about gemstones.They use "trade names" instead of actual material names.... see list https://www.gemsociety.org/article/list-false-misleading-gemstone-names/

 

Hi,
There are so many new names of stuff that has changed. I am going to crawl back into my cave and go to sleep.

I agree that it is known as "unakite".
