Pink Opal has been treasured in South America for centuries, particularly in Peru, where it was valued by Indigenous cultures as a stone of peace and emotional renewal. It is primarily sources from Peru, Australia and Mexico. Major deposits are mined in the Andes, making Peruvian Pink Opal the most well-known variety today. 

Pink Opal is a serene, opaque to translucent common opal known for its soft pastel pink hues. 

Its colour comes from manganese or organic compounds.

Unlike many gemstones, Pink Opal is formed from silica-rich waters rather than crystals, giving it its distinctive soft, cloud-like colour. It has long been used for ornamental carvings and jewellery, admired for its gentle beauty rather than sparkle.

It is a relatively soft stone (5-6 Mohs), so it can scratch or damage easily. Keep it separate from your other jewellery in a pouch or box.

I can accept what has happened and I am able to move on.

My mind is calm and my heart is open.

I feel fulfilled and I am happy with my life.

I feel calm and strong.

I trust in myself.
