The Hand Carved Gemstone Angel range comes in 4 versions. If Opalite isn't quite right, compare Opalite or Unakite or Amethyst.
Materials and size
Opalite is a man-made glass, not a natural stone, typically milky with blue and orange glow. It measures 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Man-made glass, not a natural stone. Opalite is man-made glass, which we state plainly.
Opalite glows blue against a dark background and amber when backlit.
Traditional uses
Hearts are traditional love tokens; trees symbolise growth and connection; planets and spheres evoke the cosmos. 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 it
- Hold it during a few minutes of quiet reflection.
- Stand it on a desk, bedside table or altar where you'll see it.
- It pairs traditionally with rose quartz or moonstone.
- Grid idea: crystal grids arrange stones in a pattern such as a circle or the Flower of Life around a central piece and a written intention.
- Moon idea: many collectors set their stones out on the night of the full moon and bring them back in the next morning.
- Gifting idea: wrap it in a small cloth pouch with a handwritten note about the stone's traditional meaning.
Care
- Wipe with a smooth, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaps, salt and long soaks.
- Dust regularly and keep away from hard surfaces that could chip it.
