This 6mm Opalite elastic bracelet features smooth, polished beads made from man-made opalite glass, engineered to replicate the gentle luminescence of natural opal. Though not a naturally occurring mineral, opalite’s composition — a silica-based glass with trace metal oxides — gives it an alluring play of light known as opalescence, where milky blues and warm yellows shift under different lighting.
Unlike natural opal, which contains water trapped within silica spheres, opalite’s uniform structure provides durability, clarity, and a consistent sheen ideal for jewelry.

Each bracelet displays subtle differences in hue and glow depending on ambient light — shifting from icy blue in daylight to warm amber under evening light.
Opalite emerged during the 20th-century art glass movement, when silica-based glass was refined to emulate the depth and glow of natural opal. Its internal microstructure diffuses light in a way that enhances iridescent scattering, similar to the natural phenomenon in hydrated silica opals.
Because of this optical property, opalite remains a favorite among jewelers, collectors, and metaphysical practitioners alike — representing the perfect fusion of science, art, and energy symbolism.
