Opalite
About Opalite
Opalite is a delicate, milky-white glass that displays a beautiful blue-to-pink iridescent glow when held against light or a dark background — an ethereal, otherworldly shimmer that has made it one of the most popular and beloved stones in the crystal world. It is important to note that Opalite is a man-made glass, not a natural mineral — sometimes also called Sea Opal, Opal Moonstone, or Tiffany Stone (though true Tiffany Stone is a different natural mineral). Despite its man-made origins, Opalite has developed a rich metaphysical tradition and is widely used for its gentle, high-vibrational energy.

A Note on Opalite
Opalite is always sold honestly at Embrace Bohemia as a man-made glass rather than a natural stone. Its beauty and gentle energy make it a wonderful addition to any crystal collection, and many people find it just as effective as natural stones for their healing practice. What matters most is your intention and connection with the stone.
