Metaphysical & Healing Properties

While many of our customers find spiritual and energetic resonance with our crystals, all metaphysical and healing claims are based on traditional and cultural beliefs. These statements have not been evaluated by licensed medical professionals and are not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We do not recommend using crystals as a substitute for conventional medical or psychological treatment and do not claim they cure or heal medical conditions.

Natural Beauty & Authenticity

Our crystal pieces and lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted. Inclusions, druzy pockets, surface texture, and color variations are part of their authentic character—not flaws. These features reflect the raw beauty and ancient story held within each stone. We honor these natural distinctions and hand-select every piece with care, ensuring quality, integrity, and a touch of magic.

 Opalite is a predominately man-made crystal which imitates the traditional opal but there is a less commonly collected natural opalite that can be sourced in many locations of the world.  On the market, natural opalite is advertised as what we know as the common Opal, while opalite is the term used for the man-made stone.  opalite is composed of mostly silica and water, like natural opal.  The man-made opalite resembles the natural opalite and also has similar attributes that will make it challenging to tell the two apart.  Opalite is a more affordable alternative to natural opal and has its own unique composition of resin and glass which offers many healing properties.  Opalite’s composition is not completely artificial.  Resin originates from plants, while glass comes from sand, and both have spiritual properties and vibrations that have been coveted all the way back to many ancient civilizations.  Don’t let the fact that opalite is man-made dissuade you from recognizing all the magic this stone provides us.

History

Natural opalite was first formed over 20 million years ago with some of the older artifacts found in Kenya dating back to around 4,000 B.C.  The first synthetic opalite was created in 1972 by Pierre Gilson, a French chemist.  He studied the composition of the natural Opal, and his research led him to create opalite.  Originally, he named the stone “Gilson Synthetic Opalite”.  The popularity of his discovery created a market of high demand, hence opalite was born.
