Pink Opal

Quiet heart stone from the Peruvian Andes.

Pink Opal is a variety of common opal from Peru's Andes, with a soft pink to salmon color that comes from trace palygorskite clay and organic matter embedded in the hydrated silica structure. Unlike precious opal, Pink Opal shows no color play or fire, just a gentle uniform pink. Traditionally associated with the quiet heart, emotional soothing, and the patient work of showing up for yourself.
