Pink Opal is a common opal variety (without the play-of-color seen in precious opal) found in Peru. Its soft pink color comes from inclusions of the pink mineral palygorskite. These are A grade hand polished stones from Peru, sized 0.75-1.25 inch.

Where does this Pink Opal come from?

These stones are sourced from Peru, the primary commercial source for Pink Opal. Peruvian Pink Opal is characterized by its consistent pastel pink color and waxy to matte polish quality.

What does A Grade mean for Pink Opal?

A Grade indicates consistent pink coloring, good hand polish, and minimal crazing or surface fractures. Pink Opal can develop surface cracking if it dries out rapidly; A grade pieces show solid, stable surfaces.

Is this Pink Opal treated?

Our Pink Opal is personally selected and we disclose treatment status per batch. If you have questions about your specific lot, reach out to us directly.

What is Pink Opal traditionally used for?

Pink Opal is associated with gentle emotional healing, the heart chakra, and sleep. Traditionally placed on bedside tables and used in calming, self-compassion, and grief-support intentions.

How do I care for Pink Opal?

Pink Opal is Mohs 5.5-6.5 and relatively delicate. Avoid sudden temperature changes and prolonged exposure to dry environments, which can cause surface crazing. Clean with a lightly damp cloth. Do not soak in salt water.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Peruvian pink opal discovered and valued in modern times.

Those who work with pink opal often turn to it for opening to connection, with yourself and others, coming back to yourself with kindness, and working through difficult feelings at your own pace. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. How you use it is up to you.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
