Grade AAA Natural Pink Amethyst Geode Freeform with Green Jasper, Geode Opening at top, Meditation and Healing Crystal 305g

What makes pink amethyst so very special - aside from its beautiful splendour - is that it's a fairly recent discovery in the world of crystals and gemstones. It was discovered very recently in Patagonia, Argentina, and draws its pink colouring from the inclusions of Hematite within the structure of its crystal.

Gemmologists and scientists have spent a great deal of time examining this uniquely coloured pink gemstone. In doing so, they've managed to establish that pink amethyst is much closer to amethyst than any other major mineral form, including rose quartz.

Pink amethyst, while real amethyst, forms when Hematite enters into the equation of formation. Its pink colouring gives it a distinguished hue when compared to regular, purple amethyst.

Many view pink amethyst to be a much softer and even more feminine version of regular purple amethyst crystal. But despite its softer appearance, it is no less powerful than purple amethyst.

What we do know about the untapped benefits of pink amethyst, is that it contains amazing healing properties for those suffering from severe anxiety and stress.

To this same end, pink amethyst may also be effective at treating physical ailments caused by stress and angst. It has also been known to induce lucid dreaming, and so keeping a crystal under your pillow is a great idea for beginning to discover its many health benefits and healing powers.

Therapists have now started to discover how to best use pink amethyst to promote a higher sense of being, of love, light, and well-being.

Since pink amethyst is known for its soft and feminine properties, it is known for its powers to provide protection against negative energies. It is typically used by placing it over the Heart Chakra during relaxation and has proven itself to be an enormous aid in alleviating emotional trauma.

Other uses include:

Bringing about a sense of calm during stressful situations.
Giving comfort during times of grief.
Awakening increased intuition.
Bring about an increase in clarity of mind.
Pink amethyst can also be a special gift on Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, and Mother's Day.

Because of its feminine nurturing properties, this special stone brings healing for present hurts and disappointment, which is something else that sets it apart from rose quartz and its typical properties and uses.
