Pink Corundum, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide), is renowned for its stunning pink hue. It is primarily found in regions such as Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and parts of Tanzania and Mozambique. Pink corundum forms in metamorphic and igneous rocks through high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. It develops when aluminum-rich minerals crystallize from molten rock or metamorphic processes involving the alteration of aluminum-bearing minerals. Its hexagonal crystal structure is characteristic of corundum, with atoms arranged in a tightly packed hexagonal lattice, giving it its characteristic six-sided prism shape with rhombohedral terminations.

Culturally, pink corundum is valued as a gemstone, symbolizing love, compassion, and emotional healing. Its metaphysical properties include promoting self-love, reducing stress, and enhancing inner peace. It is believed to attract positive energy and foster harmony in relationships. Due to its durability and beauty, pink corundum is often used in jewelry and spiritual practices. Globally, it is mined mainly in Asia, Africa, and Sri Lanka, regions rich in mineral deposits. Its striking appearance and metaphysical significance make it a highly prized stone in both the gemstone market and holistic healing communities.
