Pink amethyst occurs when Hematite enters into the crystalline formation of the stone, whilst still under the Earth. This gives pink amethyst its distinguished color relative to regular amethyst, which is typically a vibrant purple. Pink amethyst was discovered not long ago in Patagonia, Argentina. Here, there is a mine known as El Chiquada, and it is one of the most used sites in the region. Within it, pink amethyst has been forming for some thousands of years, just waiting for keen eyes to spot it. Because pink amethyst is reliant on this individual site, it is considered to be a very rare crystal. If you’re looking to purchase, your best bet of finding pink amethyst is through knowledgeable, selective sources.

Amethyst is the violet or purple variety of Quartz. The Amethyst geodes from southern Brazil are found in volcanic rock or basalt. When forming, gas bubbles rise towards the surface and when the lava cools quickly, it thickens and prevents the bubbles from reaching the surface. Cavities are formed as the lava hardens around the bubbles. Over many of thousands of years silica rich liquid with trace amounts of Iron found its way into these cavities and amethyst geodes are thereby formed. See less
