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.

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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/pink-crystals-meaning-healing-properties-spiritual-uses\"\u003ePink Crystals: Meaning and Spiritual Uses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/crystal-spheres-why-this-shape-is-so-powerful\"\u003eCrystal Spheres: Why This Shape Is So Powerful\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring home this soft pink opal sphere and keep a little tenderness close by.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali","offers":[{"title":"Pink Opal \/ 50-70mm","offer_id":48299897192619,"sku":"1005012830599713-Pink","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/Pink-Opal-Sphere-Spheres-Pink-Opal.jpg?v=1792380206","url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/products\/pink-opal-sphere","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
