Geological Background: What Is Opalite?
Opalite is a highly polished, translucent gemstone-quality glass inspired by the natural luminosity of opal and moonstone. Although not a naturally occurring mineral, it is created using processes that mimic the optical characteristics found in silica-based minerals. When shaped and polished, opalite displays beautiful internal glow effects and shifts of colour depending on the light.
Key properties of opalite include:
- Composition: Silica-based man-made gemstone glass
- Appearance: Milky translucent body with blue, white, and soft rainbow flashes
- Optical effect: A glowing, opalescent sheen that intensifies under bright light
- Durability: Resistant to scratching and ideal for jewellery making
Its light-catching qualities, smooth finish, and naturally calming aesthetic make it a favourite gemstone choice for modern jewellery design.
