Pink Opal Tumbled Stone - 20-35 mm

These Pink Opal Tumbled Stones show a soft blush to rose pink, opaque to faintly translucent, polished into smooth rounded pieces with an even, gentle finish. The colour is quiet and consistent rather than flashy, since this is a common opal and does not show the fiery play of colour seen in precious opal. The subtle tone and smooth surface make the stones suitable for pocket stones, display bowls or quiet tactile handling.

Pink Opal is traditionally associated with gentle love, emotional steadiness and calm, and is commonly chosen by people looking to soften stress or settle the heart. Many keep a piece close during rest, hold one in quiet moments, or set it on a bedside table or in a calm corner. It is often given as a soothing, comforting gift, particularly to someone who is healing or under strain.

Each Pink Opal stone is natural, so the depth of pink and the small variations in tone and surface will differ from piece to piece.

Geological Information
Pink Opal is a hydrated silica, a mineraloid (silicon dioxide with water content) with a Mohs hardness of about 5 to 6. It is a common opal, which means it does not display the play of colour of precious opal; its pale to medium pink comes from inclusions of the clay mineral palygorskite rather than from the silica itself. Peruvian Pink Opal is the main commercial source of this material. Some pink opal on the market is dyed or resin treated to deepen the colour, so unusually uniform, saturated colour is worth confirming; this material is sold as natural. It is sourced primarily from Peru, with some material from Australia.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Pink Opal is soft (Mohs 5 to 6) and holds water within its structure, so it can craze, or develop fine surface cracks, if exposed to heat or prolonged dryness. Keep it away from direct heat and harsh sunlight, avoid sudden temperature changes, and store it apart from harder stones to prevent scratching.
