What it is

The Hand Carved Gemstone Angel range comes in 4 versions. If Opalite isn't quite right, compare Unakite or Amethyst or Opalite.
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
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. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims.
How to use it
- 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

- Dust regularly and keep away from hard surfaces that could chip it.
