Pink Opal
Authentic natural minerals, thoughtfully sourced and individually photographed.
Pink Opal is a hydrated silica mineraloid with the formula SiO₂·nH₂O. Unlike precious opal, pink opal is classified as "common opal" — it does not display play-of-color but instead features a beautiful opaque-to-translucent body in shades of blush, rose, and bubblegum pink. It is amorphous (lacking a crystal structure), registers 5.5–6 on the Mohs hardness scale, and is sourced almost exclusively from the Andes Mountains of Peru, where it is considered the national stone.
Peruvian pink opal forms in volcanic host rock and gets its color from trace inclusions of organic compounds called quinones, as well as from palygorskite, a fibrous clay mineral. The Incas are believed to have valued pink opal, and it has been mined in Peru for centuries. Among collectors, pink opal is prized for its soft, candy-like color palette and its excellent ability to take a smooth polish. Higher-quality material is more uniformly colored and free of matrix inclusions, though many collectors appreciate the natural patterning that matrix provides.
Our pink opal collection includes:
- Tumbled stones and palm stones
- Polished spheres, hearts, and freeforms

LOVE IT. Colors are absolutely beautiful, the fit is perfect, and I'm so glad to say that I'm happy with the size of the crystals - I was afraid I wouldn't like to smaller size as I'm used to 8 mm.
This necklace is beautiful. They were out of it, but I love the substitution. All their jewelry is beautiful.
Love it so much! Looks and feels wonderful.
It's incredibly beautiful. Love that different aspects of it are highlighted in different lighting - in a bright setting you see a million tiny quartz on top that you would never know were there in the lower lighting setting. My favorite is the amazing combination of sections that sparkle and sections that are smooth and gleaming. Looks and feels wonderful. Perfectly packed too.
Love the scent, it's wonderful, and thank goodness for it as it gets rid of the odors that come in from outside, and is healthy because of the materials. Looks nice too.
Smells dreamy, is super relaxing, and is healthy because of the materials. Looks nice too.
