What opalite is said to do
Where the name comes from
Opalite is a trade name for a man-made glass that glows a little like moonstone or opal. It is not a natural opal, and we always sell it as glass.
Even so, many people love it and keep it for calm and new starts.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
