1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
[IMPORTANT] Opalite is a MAN-MADE glass, not natural opal; blue opalite is the blue-tinted variety of this synthetic opal glass, made by fusing glass with metals such as copper or cobalt, showing a soft blue glow through the 'Tyndall effect.'
Natural opal is hydrated silicon dioxide formed over millions of years; opalite is synthetically produced, and the two differ completely in composition and value.
This product is in the form of 8mm round beads, suited to bracelets, beadwork and jewelry.
Important note: this is a man-made glass material and should always be honestly labeled as man-made.

2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
As a low-cost imitation of natural opal, opalite has been mass-produced since the 20th century with the development of glassmaking.
Its dreamy blue glow has made it widely popular in jewelry and the healing market, where it is often mistaken for a natural gemstone.
Important note: this is man-made glass without the value or natural energetic properties of true opal. It should always be honestly labeled as man-made.

3. USAGE
------------------------------------------------------------
DIY jewelry: made into bracelets, beadwork and necklaces; its soft blue glow is much loved.
Ornaments and gifting: made into jewelry and ornaments to create a dreamy atmosphere.
Meditation: users often employ it in calm, clear meditation (a cultural practice).
Important note: this is a decorative man-made material without the rarity of a natural mineral.

4. FUNCTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
(Mostly cultural attributions, for reference only; this is a man-made material.)
