Pink opals, known for their lovely pink hues ranging from pale to vibrant shades, are a unique type of common opal. Composed of silica and water, their distinctive color comes from trace amounts of organic compounds or impurities in the silica. While primarily found in Peru, known as Peruvian Pink Opal, they are also sourced from Mexico and Australia.

Unlike the more famous precious opals, pink opals are valued for their uniform color and soft appearance rather than a play-of-color. They hold a special place in crystal healing and metaphysical beliefs, where they are thought to bring soothing and calming properties, often linked to emotional healing, love, and gentleness.

In the realm of jewelry, pink opals are highly sought after for their unique beauty. This is where Tribal Expression comes into play. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Tribal Expression boasts a team of skilled artisan goldsmiths who produce flawless jewelry. These artisans handcraft each piece, ensuring that the genuine pink opals are showcased in designs that highlight their natural beauty and unique characteristics.

Given their relative softness, with a Mohs hardness of about 5.5 to 6, pink opals require careful handling. They are usually set in protective settings to maintain their integrity. The value of pink opals varies, with more intensely colored stones being more highly prized. Their translucence also plays a role in determining their appeal and value.

To maintain their luster, it's important to keep pink opals away from harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight, as these can cause them to dry out and crack. The 100% handmade jewelry from Tribal Expression in Calgary not only ensures the quality and uniqueness of each piece but also celebrates the beauty and healing properties of pink opals, making them a cherished choice for those seeking something beyond traditional gemstones.
