Lavender Moon Quartz

Lavender Moon Quartz or Lavender Quartz is commonly referred to as a type of amethyst but it is surprisingly not, it is not a chalcedony either and comes in a pinkish purple color. 

Lavender quartz is known as a stone of love and is colored with manganese and titanium making it actually a type of rose quartz. 

Lavender Quartz comes from a single mine and is mined straight from the host rock. Lavender Quartz comes from the Boquira Mine in the municipality of Oliveira dos Brejinhos in the Brazilian state of Bahia. The mine opened in 1956 and is no longer producing.
