Pink is the new black and it is wide spread in a lot of design sectors, from clothing and accessories to technology: laptops, mobile phones and cars. Special people want their personality to be reflected by the things they own and pink is one of the craziest and most discussed color of all. This color is little girls' preferred color, and you can see that there are thousands of products for little girls. They like to have pink clothes, pink accessories, pink room design, and sometimes this pink trend follows them as they grow up, and they become the crazy sales girl with the pink laptop and moreover, she also has a pink mini car.

Actually pink is a softer version of red, and it can be called the sweet side of red. It is the color of candies, of bubble gum and it psychology it is associated with the weaker sex, with sensibility and emotion. While red is the color of passion and strong feelings, pink comes and brings us the soft version, the candid version of love and other beautiful feelings. As I said, in some cultures, and especially in U.S, it represents little girls, it is the word for "sugar and spice and everything nice". Most of the people see pink as a delicate and feminine color, but there are more and more men wearing and owning pink items. Red&pink both denote love, but they do this differently: red represents hot and strong love, and pink shows the romantic side of love, the charm and all the dreams related to love.

What is Pink?

Cotton Candy and Little Girls:

Pink is a softer, less violent red. Pink is the sweet side of red. It's cotton candy and bubble gum and babies, especially little girls. Shades of Pink: These words are synonymous with pink or represent various shades of the color pink: blush, coral, flesh, flush, fuchsia, hot pink, magenta (see fuchsia), raspberry, rose, salmon.

Nature of Pink:

While red stirs up passion and action, studies have shown that large amounts of pink can create physical weakness in people. Perhaps there is a tie-in between this physical reaction and the color's association with the so-called weaker sex.

Culture of Pink:

In some cultures, such as the US, pink is the color of little girls. It represents sugar and spice and everything nice. Pink for men goes in and out of style. Most people still think of pink as a feminine, delicate color.

Using Pink:

Both red and pink denote love but while red is hot passion, pink is romantic and charming. Use pink to convey playfulness (hot pink flamingoes) and tenderness (pastel pinks). Multiple shades of pink and light purple or other pastels used together maintain the soft, delicate, and playful nature of pink. Add strength with darker shades of pinks and purple and burgundy.

Using Pink with Other Colors:

All shades of pink get sophisticated when combined with black or gray or medium to darker shades of blue. Medium to dark green with pink is also a sharp-looking combo.

Pink Roses Symbolize

 Light pink roses, or the pale pink rose, sends a message of joy, gladness, admiration, grace and sweetness. If you want to express any of these sentiments, send a rose bouquet of light pink roses, such as the 'Pretty in Pink' rose, one of the best pale pink rose varieties. Pink roses, or a single pink rose, in general, conveys and expressess happiness and gracefulness The most beautiful pink roses are the vintage pink roses ot antique pink roses. These roses are also the most fragrant pink roses. They are the perfect way to conveay a message or expression of gracefulness.

Pink Amethyst

I am sure everybody has heard about amethyst as one of the most beautiful semi precious stones. Its original deep purple color is what sets this stone apart from any other stone, and it is practically impossible to mix it up with any other crystal, or gemstone. But what about the other possible amethyst colors, and in particular what about pink amethyst?
Amethyst is a variety of quartz and is characterized by its violet color. Therefore, by definition there can be no other amethyst colors. But in reality, things look differently. There are also quartz crystals, known as prasiolite stones in the mineral collecting community, which possess light green color. Those natural prasiolite stones (but unfortunately also some lab enhanced amethyst crystals manipulated in order to get the desired change of color), when used in jewelry design are often addressed to as green amethysts. And finally, if the color of the amethyst possesses a touch of lavender or if it is light lilac and slightly grayish, it is classified as pink amethyst.

Pale Amethyst Nuances

Recently we have observed an increased popularity of the pale amethyst tones, mostly pale green, or pale pink. It appears that an ever increasing number of people are drawn to these delicate nuances, and this is especially true with the so called "green amethyst" gems. Pink amethyst is not as popular as their green relatives, but nevertheless some individuals prefer pink over all the other colors in the spectrum.This is the reason as to why we are faced with new products on the jewelry markets adorned with these gemstones of pale pink colors.

Metaphysical Properties

So, let us see what the meaning of these pink amethyst stones is and how to approach their metaphysical essence? While amethyst itself is known to be able to help alleviate all sort of addictive behavior, its pink shades can contribute to enhancing our love and tolerance. The pink color belongs to the region of the heart, and literary, this color together with the green most intensely influences the heart area of our body and corresponds to the heart energy center.

The specimens with deep purple color are especially helpful when we need to adopt new spiritual and metaphysical concepts. They increase intuition and help in installing peace and crystal thoughts. To the first-class detoxification abilities of amethyst, the more lilac tones can add a note of soothing and comfort -- attributes that are very much needed when we have to break up with our bad habits and wrong everyday patterns.

Very often I like to sleep with an amethyst crystal under my pillow. Sometimes, I also alternate between amethyst and rose quartz. The first is helpful if I want to have lucid or conscious dreams, or if I want to recall a dream in the morning. The second is more beneficial for the heart, for emotional balance and emotional healing. By using pink amethyst, the original intensity of amethyst in the area of the mind can be eased down and at the same time it can be combined with the energies of the heart.

When you find yourself pulled towards these pink shades of amethyst, then it must be the stone whose energy and vibration are exactly what you need most in your current situation. All this, of course, provided that the stone itself hasn't been manipulated in laboratory. Any stone that has been lab created or manipulated in any way with making profit in mind, is not so great when it comes to its energy influx. Very often no additional knowledge about crystal charging and programming is needed. The pink amethyst healing energies can work even while we are not aware of them, since they do not affect our physical body directly -- they act on our body's more subtle energy field.
