{"product_id":"opalite-hearts-25x10mm-1-2-kilo-bag","title":"Opalite Heart - 1 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Opalite Heart is a milky white translucent piece that shifts toward pale blue or warm amber depending on the light behind it and the surface beneath it. Held against a dark background it reads cool blue; against light it warms considerably, and that shift is the entire appeal of the material. The polish is high and glassy, and at this size the Hearts are small enough to arrange in numbers or use as tokens. Colour and clarity are consistent across pieces, since the material is manufactured rather than mined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Third Eye, Crown\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Cancer, Virgo\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Moon\u003cbr\u003eElements: Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 5.5-6.5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Man-Made\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Opalite\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 25 mm (1 inch)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 8 g \u003cbr\u003eListing: Single Unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpalite is a man-made opalescent glass, manufactured from dolomite and metal compounds, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5. It is not a natural mineral and has no geological origin; it is produced to mimic the visual character of natural opal and moonstone. The shifting play between milky white and pale blue is a diffraction effect produced by the glass structure itself rather than by any inclusion, which is why it changes with light conditions and background colour rather than with viewing angle. Because it is glass at moderate hardness it will scratch or chip against harder materials, so it benefits from gentle handling and storage away from harder stones. There is no historical use behind it; the material has been widely adopted in the crystal and wellness market for its similarity to natural opal. It is manufactured primarily in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is selected for its quality, beauty, and visual consistency.
