Opalite Tumbled Chips - 5-7 mm

These Opalite Chips are small tumbled pieces of milky white glass with a soft blue-tinged iridescence that shifts as the light and background change. The chips are a loose, unstrung form suited to crystal grids, resin and jewellery craft, pouches, and decorative fills.

Opalite is popularly associated with calm and gentle intuition, and is commonly kept as a soothing, decorative material. Loose chips like these are often placed in gentle grids, added to craft and resin projects, or used as a shimmering decorative fill. Their milky iridescence makes them a soft, luminous material for calming layouts.

This is a man - made material, so each chip will vary slightly in the strength of its opalescent shift and background colour, and pieces differ from the photographs.

Geological Information
Opalite is a man - made opalescent glass, not a natural mineral, produced to mimic the look of natural opal and moonstone. It is made from dolomite and metal compounds, and its milky white to pale blue iridescence is created by light diffraction through the glass structure rather than by any crystalline structure. It has no historical use as a natural stone and is manufactured primarily in China.
