The Pirate's Treasure

The pirate, One-eyed Pete, hid his treasure on an island. The island was divided into a 4 x 4 grid of equal sized squares. Each square was assigned a color. He wrote the following info on his map:

1. The blue square was one square horizontally to the left of the pink square.
2. Orange was one to the right of and one above the white.
3. The red was one square vertically above the purple.
4. Lavender was one square horizontally to the left of indigo.
5. The brown was one vertically below green.
6. The purple was one horizontally to the left of the gray.
7. Violet was two horizontally to the right of yellow.
8. The indigo was one vertically above the white.
9. Turquoise was two below and one to the right of the red.
10. The crimson was one to the right of and one below the green.
11. The GOLD square was where the TREASURE was buried.

Describe the location of the treasure on the 4 x 4 grid.
