Crushed Opalite Chips (Synthetic), Pea-Sized Gravel (2mm-4mm) for Resin Art, Embellishments, Mosaics, or Succulent Gravel

Opalite is a man-made glass that exhibits an iridescent and lustrous play of colors called opalescence. Recently, this stone has been popularized by the new Taylor Swift song “Opalite” on the album “Life of a Showgirl”. 

This particular crushed opalite has a translucent white color and displays subtle blue flashes of opalescence, which can be seen in our chip, coarse sand, and medium sand sizes.  Unfortunately, the blue flash is not preserved when the mineral has been progressively pulverized into tiny pieces. This is the case for our fine sand and our powder sizes. 

MATERIAL SIZE

Our crushed coarse material is considered to be pea-sized gravel, ranging between 2 millimeters to 4 millimeters. This size is great for decorating candles, embellishment designs, orgone pyramids, large woodworking voids, resin art, and metaphysical projects. 

MINERAL PROPERTIES

• Mohs’s Hardness: 5
• Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 2.4 - 2.5

EXTRA LISTING INFORMATION

We prioritize providing high-quality materials for all artisans; therefore, our stones are natural and untreated unless otherwise specified. Photos may showcase both wet and dry crushed stone. Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
