Opalite Beads Product Knowledge
Product: Opalite Beads (Opalite 8mm)
============================================================
1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
[IMPORTANT] Opalite is a MAN-MADE glass, not natural opal. It is usually made by fusing glass with metals such as copper, gold or cobalt, and shows a soft milky-blue or pink 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.
Because the finished material can contain air bubbles (a trace of the glass process), it is sometimes called 'glass opal.' It has no natural deposit; it is industrially manufactured.
With a hardness of about 5-6 (as glass), it is suited to making beads, jewelry and ornaments.
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 pale-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
------------------------------------------------------------
Jewelry: made into bracelets, pendants and beads, popular for their soft blue glow.
Ornaments and decor: made into beads and ornaments to create a dreamy atmobead.
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
