## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

Carving stone into meaningful shapes is an ancient art, from Chinese jade to Egyptian scarabs. A shape adds its own symbolism to the stone. Opalite is chosen for its glow; in contemporary practice it is associated with transitions. In modern crystal tradition opalite is linked with the crown and third eye chakra and with Cancer and Libra. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim.

## How to use

- Set it on a desk, bedside table or altar where you'll see it.
- Hold it during a few minutes of quiet reflection.
- It pairs traditionally with rose quartz or moonstone.
- Journalling idea: note the date you bought it and what drew you to it; collectors enjoy looking back on how a collection grew.
- Shelf idea: group stones by colour, from deep to pale, for a display that reads like a gradient.
- Meditation idea: rest it in an open palm and use its weight and temperature as a point of focus for five slow breaths.

## Care

- Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip soaps, salt and long soaks.
