Opalite is a crystal composed of Hydrated Silica. the crystalline structure of this stone is defined as amorphous as the formation process occurs very quickly. The chaotic arrangement of the silica spheres inside, not unlike that of the crystals, creates a diffraction phenomenon of light, which gives the stone a special "opalescence" which increases the refraction of light rays, and the effects of chromatic decomposition.

In ancient times, opal was highly valued but at the same time feared. Due to its ability to reflect all colors, it was believed to contain the powers of all stones. It was called "The stone of the eyes" because it was thought that it could believed, develop "Sight", or clairvoyance, divinatory powers and spiritual awareness.
