Light pink amethyst from Montana 4.35CT
Light pink amethyst is a unique, natural variety of quartz featuring soft, pale blush to deeper peachy-pink hues. Unlike traditional purple amethyst, its delicate color comes from hematite (iron) inclusions rather than manganese or standard iron impurities. It is primarily sourced from mines in Argentina and Brazil.
Key Characteristics
- Mineral Family: Quartz (Silicate)
- Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale, making it durable for daily wear and handling.
- Formation: Often found as translucent crystal clusters and geodes rather than the solid points typical of regular amethyst.
- Care Tip: Like all amethysts, it can fade with prolonged exposure to bright, direct sunlight, so it should be stored in a shaded or lined area.
