Lavender Moon Quartz | The Rare Pinkish-Purple Quartz That Isn’t Amethyst

Lavender Moon Quartz, sometimes called Lavender Quartz, often gets mistaken for amethyst—but it’s not. It also isn’t chalcedony. This uncommon variety of macrocrystalline quartz owes its soft pink-lavender hue to trace amounts of manganese and titanium, not iron. Technically, it’s a colored cousin of rose quartz, not amethyst at all.

This stone carries a unique visual character—dreamy pastel tones that shift between blush and violet depending on the light. It’s a stone associated with love, softness, and emotional restoration, but with a quiet strength under the surface. The gentle coloring makes it a favorite for subtle jewelry and collector’s displays alike.

Lavender Moon Quartz comes exclusively from a single mine: the Boquira Mine in Oliveira dos Brejinhos, Bahia, Brazil. The deposit was discovered in the 1950s and mined until closure—no new material has been extracted since. That makes every piece you see on the market part of a finite, geologically specific source.

This stone isn’t just rare—it’s weird. And we love it for that.
