Chakra Connection
Pink opal is traditionally connected to the heart chakra. Its soft color is associated with gentle love, emotional healing and calm, and it is a popular stone for self-care, quiet evenings and soothing an anxious heart. In crystal tradition it is often described as a nurturing stone, softer and more comforting than bright, energizing pinks. Many people keep it by the bed or in a self-care corner. The sphere shape adds its own symbolism of wholeness and an even, gentle presence, which suits pink opal's quiet, loving reputation.

Crystal Care
Pink opal is about 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz, and like all opal it contains a little natural water, so avoid strong heat, sudden temperature changes and long, direct sun. Wipe it with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners and long soaking. Keep it on a stand so it cannot roll, and store it apart from harder stones. See how to cleanse and charge your crystals.
FAQs
How big is the sphere?
The supplier lists these spheres at about 50-70mm across, so size varies a little from piece to piece. Smaller spheres are about the size of a large lime; larger ones are close to a baseball.
Is pink opal the same as opalite?
No. Pink opal is a natural common opal, while opalite is a man-made glass. They are different materials, and pink opal is the natural stone.
Is the pink color natural?
Yes. Pink opal's soft color is natural, coming from trace minerals and organic compounds in the stone.
Does pink opal have fire like precious opal?
No. Pink opal is a common opal, so it shows soft, solid color rather than the rainbow play of color seen in precious opal.
Will my sphere look like the photo?
It will be the same material and size range, but each sphere has its own shade of pink and natural markings.
What Is Pink Opal?
Pink opal is a natural common opal colored soft pink by trace minerals. Opal is a form of silica that contains a small amount of water and forms when silica-rich water fills cracks and cavities in rock over long periods. Unlike precious opal, common opal has no play of color, but its gentle bubblegum to blush tones make it a favorite heart stone. Peru is a well-known source of pink opal. It is often confused with opalite, a man-made glass, and with rose quartz, which is harder and more glassy.
