Morocco Stone – Opalite (medium)
Opalite is a special, artificially produced glass stone, manufactured in China, with an opal-like shimmering, translucent appearance. This medium-sized Opalite palm stone fits perfectly in the hand, and with its pleasant, smooth surface and changing play of light, it is one of the most attractive decorative and gift stones. The nameless play of light of Opalite can range from translucent white-blue iridescence to a gentle orange depending on the angle and source of light.

Characteristics
The medium Opalite palm stone is ideal in size: not too large, not too small, it fits in the palm and is pleasant to hold. The iridescence effect enclosed within the translucent white glass radiates in various blue, orange and yellow shades in light. The „moon stone glass” designation is also used for it, as its shimmer is reminiscent of the reflection of the moonlight at night.
How to Use
The medium Opalite palm stone is excellent for decoration, as a gift, as a meditation aid or simply as a beautiful object. Place it in a small glass dish, jewellery holder or in the palm – it provides a beautiful sight anywhere. It also fits perfectly into a crystal decorative set alongside other translucent or white stones. Opalite is also symbolically known as the stone of calm and balance in many spiritual cultures.
Why Choose This?
The medium Opalite palm stone is easier to handle and more portable than its larger sibling. It can fit in a pocket or pouch, and its play of light is not diminished by its smaller size. Due to its affordability and attractive appearance, it is an excellent entry-level gift for mineral enthusiasts, spiritually interested people or simply those who enjoy beautiful objects.
