Peruvian pink opal forms in the Andes Mountains from silica-rich water that seeps into volcanic rock. Over millions of years, this water deposits silica layers, which solidify into opal. Its distinct pink color comes from trace amounts of organic compounds, specifically quinones, trapped within the silica structure during formation.
Believed to soothe emotional distress, heal heart-centered blockages, and promote inner balance. It is considered a nurturing stone that can help release past pain and grief, fostering compassion and calm.
Sourced from Acari Mine, Acari District, Caraveli Province, Arequipa Peru.
