Natural inclusions, cracks and pockets are all visible and all part of the natural stone. Please handle with extra care. These are very fragile stones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePink amethyst is a new colour variety of quartz coming from Patagonia, Argentina . The geodes are extracted by hand from \"El Choique\" and \"Colli Cure\" mines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral studies have been carried recently in the United States, Argentina and Germany in order to determine the nature of its coloration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecimens colour range between pale to moderate purplish pink. Optical, spectroscopic, Raman and microchemical analyses show that the pink colour in Patagonian quartz crystals is caused by the presence of two types of iron: iron activated by exposure to natural radiation, same chromophore than in the very well-known violet amethyst, and iron as microscopic hematite particles. In this sense, they are not rose quartz or pink quartz as classically defined, and since the colour of amethyst is, by definition, also caused by iron, the Patagonian specimens are referred to as “pink amethyst”.","brand":"Calder Crystals","offers":[{"title":"Lot 70","offer_id":58112954958088,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-70","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 71","offer_id":58112954925320,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-71","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 72","offer_id":58112954892552,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-72","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 73","offer_id":58112954859784,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-73","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 74","offer_id":58112954827016,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-74","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 76","offer_id":58112954794248,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-76","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 77","offer_id":58112954761480,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-77","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 79","offer_id":58112954728712,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-79","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 80","offer_id":58112954695944,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-80","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 81","offer_id":58112954663176,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-81","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 82","offer_id":58112954630408,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-82","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 83","offer_id":58112954597640,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-83","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 84","offer_id":58112954564872,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-84","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 85","offer_id":58112954532104,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-85","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Lot 86","offer_id":58112954499336,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-86","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lot 87","offer_id":58112954466568,"sku":"CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-87","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/6062\/6184\/files\/CC-Raw-PinkAmethyst-Flat3-01.jpg?v=1782810123","url":"https:\/\/caldercrystals.com\/products\/pink-amethyst-raw-specimen-geode-rock-1-count-80-150-grams-various-sizes-03","provider":"Calder Crystals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
