Pink Amethyst Geode

Pink amethyst occurs when Hematite enters into the crystalline formation of the stone, whilst still under the Earth. This gives pink amethyst its distinguished colour relative to regular amethyst, which is typically a vibrant purple. It’s a new stone that was only discovered very recently, in a deposit in Patagonia, Argentina. Amethyst becomes pink as a result of inclusions of Hematite within the crystalline structure. 

Many see pink amethyst as the softer and more feminine version of regular amethyst. Despite being softer, pink amethyst is no less powerful, and it can definitely be an advantage to have both of these stones in your collection.
