PINK OPAL SPHERE PINK ANDEAN OPAL PERU THE STONE OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING 63 MM 362 G Pink opal is a natural type of common opal that often contains palygorskite and chalcedony. Palygorskite is a phyllosilicate that resembles opal, while chalcedony is a microcrystalline quartz mineral. Pink opal is one of the opal colours Peru is famous for. Peruvian pink opal is known for being the most impressive variety in terms of its rich, bright color. One locale in Peru, the Andean Mountain range, led to the nickname “pink Andean opal,” although “Andean opal” on its own refers to blue-green opals from the area. Peruvian pink opals get their colour from small amounts of quinones, organic compounds often found in plants, that enter the stone during formation. By the way, Australian pink opals get their colour from the presence of manganese. As an opal gemstone, pink opal inherently symbolises protection. Along with other pink gemstones, pink opal represents love, gentleness, and healing. However, pink opal’s meaning slightly differs from other pink stones. Take pink opal vs. rose quartz, for instance. While both stones represent love and healing, rose quartz generally symbolizes compassion and romance, while pink opal is more about being kind to yourself.
