There are two types of Pink Amethyst on the market. One is the true pink amethyst from Patagonia, Argentina where it was discovered in 2016. The other is essentially just Amethyst however it appears in tones of rose pink, magenta and lavender purple rather than a deep and even purple pigment. This well known stone can be found in Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, and the US.

Pink Amethyst is available in many different types of polished shapes, slabs, freeform and raw geodes. The Patagonia, Argentina Pink Amethyst deposit is in the vicinity of the El Chiquada mine. Because it is such a recent addition to the crystal marketplace, we are still discovering its many energetic benefits.

When it comes to Pantagonia Pink Amethyst geologically, we know that it draws its pink colouring from the inclusions of Hematite combined with silicon dioxide within the structure of its crystal. Iron was activated by natural radiation to make amethyst, and tiny hematite particles were there to turn the amethyst pink. Its natural form is a geode. When these are cracked open the beautiful pink is revealed. When these geodes are sliced, pockets of druzy are revealed. These are tiny glittering crystals that grow on the surface of the larger crystal and catch rays of light.

Pink Amethyst is an excellent stone for opening the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the energetic centre of your body and one of the most powerful links between your spiritual and physical realms. This crystal makes you receptive to giving and receiving love and friendship. The element of the heart chakra is ‘air’, this air suppresses negative energy, allowing unselfish and unrestrained love to flow. 

It also resonates with Crown Chakra which may be compared to a spiritual knowing antenna. This powerful combination enables us to see with wisdom what is in the heart. This enables the facilitation of forgiveness so that we can heal rifts within relationships and accept disappointment. We can open ourselves to deep love, sensuality and satisfaction.

The loving, soothing, stress relieving energy of pink amethyst supports emotional balance, encouraging deep contentment. During times of grief it can act as an emotional support.

Open your heart and your mind to the loving vibes of this incredibly beautiful stone by placing a piece on your heart chakra during rest or mediation. A piece by your bedside can allow love to flow. It also works well in a child's bedroom, assisting calm and restful sleep for overactive little minds and to guard against nightmares. A statement piece placed in an entry or living space in your home welcomes positive, calm vibes and allows love to flow easily and readily, wonderful for relationships and family bonds.
