Crushed Opalite Powder (Synthetic), Fine Crush (<0.25mm) for Inlay, Resin Art, or Metaphysical Applications

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 powdered material, consisting predominantly of silt and clay sized particles (<0.25mm), has a subtle gritty texture. Powdered minerals are great for filling in small cracks or voids, orgonite pyramids, resin molds, memorial and resin jewelry, ring inlay, resin art, and creating textured paints and pigments. 

MINERAL PROPERTIES

• Mohs’s Hardness: 5
• Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 2.4 - 2.5
• Luster: Vitreous, Blue Flash
• Color: Clear to Milky White

EXTRA LISTING INFO

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).
