Pink Amethyst (66x20cm) from Planalto from Ametista do Sul! (Considered one of the most beautiful finds of 2024)

Only the Patagonia region in Argentina is home to pink amethyst, a rare type of amethyst. More specifically, the El Chiquada mine is the most used location in that area. Pink amethyst is a relatively new gemstone, with limited availability. It is an extremely energetic stone with strong healing properties. When examining the most common properties, you will find that nearly all of them relate to the heart. The colour of the pink amethyst is caused by the strong presence of haematite. This compound colours the quartz pink, in contrast to, e.g., rose quartz. Amethyst is derived from the Greek word amethistos, which means something like "against intoxication or not intoxicating", and has its origins in the old superstition that the wearer is protected against the intoxicating effect of wine.
