{"title":"Opalite UK - Man-Made Opalescent Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpalite is man-made glass, not a natural stone.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is produced by melting glass with mineral additives to create that milky blue-white body and the warm amber glow you see when it is held up to the light. It is often sold as “opal”, “sea opal” or “Tiffany stone”, which it is not. We label it for what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of that makes it a poor choice. Opalite is attractive, consistent in colour and inexpensive, and the glow is genuinely lovely. It is simply glass, so expect no natural variation and treat it gently: it is softer than quartz, chips on a hard knock, and while a quick rinse is fine, it should not be soaked or cleaned with harsh chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/crystals-tips\/opal-guide-types-colours-real-vs-fake-and-care-uk\"\u003eopal guide\u003c\/a\u003e for how genuine opal differs, the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/crystals-tips\/are-my-crystals-real-7-simple-checks-to-spot-fakes\"\u003ereal vs fake checks\u003c\/a\u003e, and the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/crystals-tips\/water-safe-crystals-what-can-go-in-water-and-what-to-avoid\"\u003ewater-safe crystals guide\u003c\/a\u003e.
