The nation most closely associated with pink opals is Peru - pink opal is primarily composed of hydrated silica/quartz
Pink opal occurs when water evaporates from silica, leaving a gel behind that eventually solidifies into opal. How the pink occurs differs depending on the locale. Mexican and Peruvian pink opals get their color from small amounts of quinones, organic compounds often found in plants, that enter the stone during formation
