Description
Opalite carved bat wrapped in copper wire that has been oxidized and polished.
Opalite is a fascinating material, often mistaken for a gemstone due to its captivating translucence and play of colors reminiscent of natural opals. However, Opalite is not a gemstone but a man-made glass, primarily crafted from dolomite and metal to create its distinctive shimmering and milky appearance. Despite its synthetic origins, Opalite has found a place in jewelry making and natural healing practices, attributed with properties that promote emotional well-being, spiritual balance, and physical health. It's particularly noted for its ability to enhance communication and interpersonal connections. While it may not have the ancient history of natural gemstones, Opalite carries its own unique charm and has garnered a devoted following among those who appreciate its beauty and reported healing benefits.
Please note that this wire may tarnish and will need cleaning from time to time. Polish as needed with included polishing cloth.
All pendants come in a jewelry gift box with a black waxed cord and small polishing cloth.
