Quartz crystallizes in the trigonal system, has a Mohs hardness of 7, and is composed of silicon dioxide; pink coloration in material sold under this name is generally associated with iron-bearing inclusions or related color centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTraditional \u0026amp; Metaphysical Associations\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn crystal traditions, pink amethyst is associated with calm reflection, compassion, emotional balance, and gentle intention-setting.
