📜 Backstory
Pink/purple xenia is one of the more frequently seen colored forms and is spread by fragging. There is no designer lineage or single vendor of origin — it's a naturally occurring color form. It carries at most a small premium over standard tan, since the pink pigment, while attractive, is not genuinely scarce.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate light and flow on an isolated rock; coloration can fade if conditions shift, so keep lighting consistent.
