Most pink opal forms in Peru's Andes Mountains, particularly near the town of Acari. The stone develops when silica-rich fluids fill cavities in volcanic rock over millions of years.
Pink opal rates 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. This makes it softer than quartz but durable enough for rings when set in protective sterling silver bezels.
The pink color comes from quinones, organic compounds that form during the stone's creation. Iron and manganese traces can also influence the final shade.
