Opalite

Opalite is a man-made glass, prized for the soft blue-to-milky-white glow it gives off in changing light, reminiscent of natural opal without opal's price tag. In crystal circles it's associated with calm and emotional balance, often used to ease communication during difficult conversations. Because it's synthetic rather than mined, opalite tends to be more affordable and consistent in colour than natural stones, making it an easy entry point for beginners. It's popular in pendants, rings and worry stones alike.
