Pink Opal

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 rarer opal colors, as only a few nations produce the gemstone - including Peru, Mexica, the US, and Australia. As an opal gemstone, pink opal inherently symbolizes protection. Along with other pink gemstones, pink opal represents love, gentleness, and healing, and being kind to yourself.
