Opalite Angel - hand-carved opalite angel figurine, 38 mm
Opalite is not a stone pulled from the earth. It is a glass-based material whose pearlescent quality comes from its composition. Hold it in warm light and it shifts toward gold. Move it into cooler light and it turns blue. That shift is what makes each piece look different, even when they come from the same workshop.
The Opalite Angel is hand-carved and polished into an angel form standing approximately 38 mm tall. It weighs around 25 grams and has a smooth, softly luminous finish. No two pieces are identical.
What you hold in your hand
The surface feels cool and smooth, much like polished glass. The angel form is kept simple: rounded wings, a clear head, a slender body. White and blue tones dominate, but depending on angle and light source, a golden or faintly pink glow appears.
The compact size means it sits comfortably in one hand or beside a spread of cards on a reading cloth. Small enough to carry, solid enough to handle every day.
Using it alongside your cards
In spiritual practice, the figurine is used as a focal point during readings or quiet reflection. The soft shimmer draws the eye without competing with the cards. Some people hold it in their receptive hand while shuffling.
Place the angel beside your cards or hold it while you shuffle. The weight and smooth texture give your hands something to settle into before a reading.
Care
Wipe it clean with a soft cloth to keep the polish intact. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as opalite is glass and scratches relatively easily. Those who want to energetically recharge it can place it under a full moon or beside a piece of selenite.

Questions we often get
Is opalite a natural mineral?
No. Opalite is a synthetic, glass-based material. It is manufactured rather than mined. The shimmer and colour-shifting effect are properties of the material itself, not a coating or treatment applied afterward.
How large is the figurine, and will it fit beside a tarot spread?
It stands approximately 38 mm tall and weighs around 25 grams. That is smaller than a standard tarot card, so it sits easily next to a spread without taking up space on the reading cloth.
