What makes pink amethyst so very special – aside from its beautiful splendour – is that it’s a fairly recent discovery in the world of crystals and gemstones. It was discovered very recently in Patagonia, Argentina, and draws its pink colouring from the inclusions of Hematite within the structure of its crystal.
Many view pink amethyst to be a much softer and even more feminine version of regular purple amethyst crystal. But despite its softer appearance, it is no less powerful than purple amethyst.
Gemmologists and scientists have spent a great deal of time examining this uniquely coloured pink gemstone. In doing so, they’ve managed to establish that pink amethyst is much closer to amethyst than any other major mineral form, including rose quartz.
Since pink amethyst was only recently discovered, it has yet to discover its true meaning and place in the world.
Even so, since pink amethyst appeared almost out of thin air, its rarity and recent discovery is an honour for those who are fortunate enough to experience it first-hand during its early years. For many, the true meaning of pink amethyst is that “the best is yet to come”, meaning there’s so much more left to discover, and that there will always be more wonderful things to learn about and explore.
