Overview

Pink Amethyst is a rare, heart-centred variety of amethyst known for its uniquely calming, soothing and emotionally restorative energy. Unlike purple amethyst, which focuses on mental clarity and spiritual connection, Pink Amethyst blends emotional softness with protective grounding.

Its gentle blush tones mirror its purpose: softening emotional wounds, dissolving tension and helping you reconnect with safety, trust and unconditional self-compassion. It is deeply nurturing for those healing from heartbreak, emotional fatigue, grief or trauma.

What is Pink Amethyst?

Pink Amethyst is a rare quartz variety coloured by microscopic hematite inclusions within the crystal structure. This unique combination of amethyst’s spiritual clarity and hematite’s grounding influence produces a soft pink tone found almost exclusively in the Patagonia region of Argentina.

Most commonly found as geodes, clusters and flower-like formations, Pink Amethyst carries the serene clarity of traditional amethyst but expresses it through the heart. It is both protective and soothing — a gentle guardian of emotional wellbeing.

Spiritual Meaning

The spiritual energy of Pink Amethyst is nurturing, feminine, heart-opening and deeply stabilising. It helps dissolve emotional armour while maintaining protection, encouraging vulnerability without fear.

This crystal opens a soft bridge between the Heart, Third Eye and Crown, allowing intuition to be guided by compassion rather than fear. It brings peace to the emotional body and clarity to the spiritual body, making it a powerful stone for gentle awakening and inner restoration.
